Identifying rhizosphere bacteria and potential mechanisms linked to compost suppressiveness towards Fusarium oxysporum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Soilborne fungal phytopathogens pose a significant threat to global food security. While chemical control remains an effective method for managing these pathogens, increasing regulations due to health and environmental concerns, along with rising fungicide resistance, have restricted their use, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. The use of compost to enhance soil fertility and suppress plant diseases is well documented. Several studies have underlined the role of microorganisms in disease suppression, but the mechanisms facilitating this disease suppression remain unclear. We evaluated the impact of compost amendment on the composition and functional capacity of the rhizosphere microbiome in cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus) inoculated with Fusari
