Dynamic of the Soil Microbiota in Short-Term Crop Rotation.

ABSTRACT: Crop rotation is one of the oldest and most effective methods of restoring soil fertility, which declines when the same plant is grown repeatedly. One of the reasons for a reduction in fertility is the accumulation of pathogenic and unfavorable microbiota. The modern crop rotation schemes (a set of plant species and their order in the crop rotation) are highly effective but are designed without considering soil microbiota dynamics. The main goal of this study was to perform a short-term experiment with multiple plant combinations to access the microbiological effects of crop rotation. It could be useful for the design of long-term crop rotation schemes that take the microbiological effects of the crop rotation into account. For the analysis, five plants (legumes: vetch, clover, and cereals
