Response of Soil Microbial Community Structure Mediated by Sulfur-Induced Resistance Against Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker.

ABSTRACT: Kiwifruit bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a major threat to kiwifruit worldwide, and effective control measures are still lacking. Sulfur, as a mineral, has been proved to improve plants' resistance to pathogens. It is of great significance to study the effect of sulfur on rhizosphere microorganisms in kiwifruit planting areas infected by Psa for controlling kiwifruit canker. In this study, the sulfur powder and organic fertilizer were mixed as base fertilizer to treat the soil in the area where kiwifruit bacterial canker occurs. We investigated the incidence of kiwifruit bacterial canker in 2018 and 2019 after sulfur application and the changes in microbial characteristics and community composition structure in the kiwifruit rhizospher
