Soil disinfestation and optimized nutrient management reduces nitrogen leaching and shapes soil microbial community composition in greenhouse cucumber production systems.

ABSTRACT: High nutrient input leads to problems such as excessive accumulation of soil nutrients, and imbalance of microbial communities. However, there remains significant gaps in the impact of soil disinfestation and optimized nutrient management measures on the growth and soil conditions of greenhouse cucumber. This study investigated the effects of non-disinfected soil with conventional nutrient treatment (CK), after disinfection with conventional chicken manure application (FP), after disinfection with bio-organic fertilizer application (BF), and after disinfection with organic materials application (OM) on cucumber growth performance, soil nutrients, and microbial communities. The results indicated that compared to the CK, FP, BF, and OM could significantly increase cucumber yield, dry weight,
