Effects of Flurochloridone Application on Rhizosphere Soil Fungal Community and Composition in Potato Growing Areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

ABSTRACT: The application of herbicides to arable land is still the most effective and accepted method to protect plants from weeds. Extensive use of chemicals in conventional agricultural practices has resulted in continuous and serious environmental pollution. Flurochloridone (FLC) is a monophenyl pyrrolidinone selective herbicide that is commonly used to inhibit weeds that occur during the growth of potatoes. In recent years, research on the toxicity of FLC has gradually increased. However, it is relatively rare to analyze the role of FLC by studying the composition of soil microorganisms. Therefore, we used NGS methods to identify the fungal community structure of the low content soil (LS) and high content soil (HS) samples in this study. Subsequently, we identified the fungal community and composition differences of these two group samples using the statistical analysis. Despite the variances of fungal community and composition across the different samples within the group, the fungal composition of the LS samples and the HS samples. LS samples were predominated by Ascomycota, while the HS samples were predominated by Mortierellomycota and Basidiomycota. The major species in the LS samples were Plectosphaerellacucumerina and Trichocladiumasperum, whereas the dominant species in the HS samples were Epicoccum nigrum and Cladosporium chasmanthicola. These results suggested that the LS samples and the HS samples had different rhizosphere soil fungal community and composition changes resulting from implementation of FLC in potato growing areas.
