Dynamics of soil properties and bacterial community structure by mulched fertigation system in semi-arid area of Northeast China.

ABSTRACT: The agricultural irrigation and fertigation systems have a non-negligible impact on the soil microenvironment in arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, studying the processes and changes of soil microenvironment under different plastic mulch drip irrigation systems can reveal the "soil-microbe" mechanism and provide a theoretical support for the optimal irrigation and nutrition management of maize in the semi-arid area of Northeast China. Three treatments were used for this study in the semi-arid area of northeast China, namely; mulched fertigation system (MF), drip irrigation system (DI), and farmers' practices system (FP). We used high-throughput sequencing to study the soil bacterial community structure targeting the 16S rRNA gene. The agricultural irrigation and fertigation systems signi
