Biofertilizers regulate the soil microbial community and enhance Panax ginseng yields.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Panax ginseng is widely used as functional food and traditional Chinese medicine. To satisfy the market supply and medication safety, biofertilizers are used as agents to stimulate the growth and production of P. ginseng.

Methods

In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction to analyze microbial community in soils treated with biofertilizers during the development stages of P. ginseng. Ginsenoside content was detected using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis to evaluate the effects of biofertilizer application.

Results

In this study, the incidence rate of P. ginseng root rot significantly declined by 40.3-47.3% after application of disease-biocontrol
