Continuous Sugarcane Planting Negatively Impacts Soil Microbial Community Structure, Soil Fertility, and Sugarcane Agronomic Parameters.

ABSTRACT: Continuous planting has a negative impact on sugarcane plant growth and reduces global sugarcane crop production, including in China. The response of soil bacteria, fungal, and arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) fungal communities to continuous sugarcane cultivation has not been thoroughly documented. Using MiSeq sequencing technology, we analyzed soil samples from sugarcane fields with 1, 10, and 30 years of continuous cropping to see how monoculture time affected sugarcane yield, its rhizosphere soil characteristics and microbiota. The results showed that continuous sugarcane planting reduced sugarcane quality and yield. Continuous sugarcane planting for 30 years resulted in soil acidification, as well as C/N, alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen, organic matter, and total sulfur content significantly
