Crop rotation alleviates continuous cropping obstacles in Chrysanthemum morifolium production by regulating rhizosphere soil microbial communities and metabolites.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Crop rotation is a well-established agricultural practice that enhances biodiversity in medicinal crop fields, thereby improving agroecosystem sustainability and efficiency. However, the impact of crop rotation involving Chrysanthemum morifolium on soil microbiomes and their correlation with key soil physicochemical factors remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the effects of a rotation system (Prunella vulgaris-C. morifolium) on C. morifolium productivity and soil quality.

Methods

In this study, we investigated two distinct planting models: the P. vulgaris-C. morifolium rotation system and the C. morifolium monoculture system. For each system, we comprehensively examined the agronomic traits, yield, and quality of C. morifolium. Additionally,
