Long-term fertilization has different impacts on bacterial communities and phosphorus forms in sugarcane rhizosphere and bulk soils under low-P stress.

ABSTRACT: The application of phosphorus (P) fertilizer effectively improves soil P availability, but it also affects soil microbial communities. However, the responses of soil bacterial communities and P forms to long-term P fertilization, and the relationships of bacterial communities with soil P forms remain unclear in P-deficient field. In this study, the impacts of different P fertilization treatments (chemical nitrogen and potassium (NK); chemical N, P and K (NPK); and NPK plus straw (NPKS)) on the bacterial communities and P forms in sugarcane rhizosphere (RS) and bulk soils (BS) were evaluated. Compared with the NK, the NPK and NPKS treatments significantly (P<0.05) increased the yield and quality characters of sugarcane, especially under NPKS. Additionally, P fertilization significantly increased the available P (AP), soluble inorganic P (Pi) and retained Pi in both the RS and BS, but they significantly increased the Chao1 and Shannon index only in the BS; and almost all these indices were significantly higher in the RS than in the BS. The bacterial community compositions were also significantly altered by P fertilization, with major changes in the RS and minor changes in the BS. The bacterial genera that were enriched in the sugarcane rhizosphere mainly included Bradyrhizobium, Rhodanobacter, Pseudolabrys, Conexibacter, and Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, some of which potentially promote the plant growth. Compared to NK, functional groups involved in the cycling of carbon, N, and sulfur significantly increased or decreased with fertilizer P application. Moreover, the relative abundances of many bacterial species were significantly correlated with the soil P forms. In conclusion, long-term P fertilization altered bacterial structure and functions in P-deficient sugarcane soil, which could help the soil P cycling and suppling. The results provide useful information to stimulate the power of the microbes by fertilization measures to improve soil nutrients and crop production.

Project description:BackgroundIntercropping increases land use efficiency and farmland ecological diversity. However, little is understood about whether and how soil biota, metabolites, and nutrients change under interspecific competition among plants. Thus, this study aimed to explore the changes in the physicochemical properties, microbial communities, and metabolites of rhizosphere and bulk soils of pepper monocropping and pepper-maize intercropping systems.ResultsIntercropping significantly increased the contents of available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK), and decreased the pH value, whereas it had little effect on the total nitrogen (TN) and organic matter (OM) in the rhizosphere and bulk soils, compared with those in monocropping pepper. Moreover, the OM content was higher in rhizosphere soil than in bulk soil. The microbial community structures and metabolite profiles also differed between the two systems. The diversity of bacteria and fungi increased in intercropped pepper. The relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, and Ascomycota were higher while those of Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, Mucoromycota, and Basidiomycota were significantly lower in the rhizosphere and bulk soils from the intercropping system than in those from the monocropping system. Linear discriminant analysis revealed that the predominant bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere soil from the intercropping system belonged to the order Sphingomonadales and genera Nitrospira, Phycicoccus and Auricularia, whereas those in the bulk soil from the intercropping system belonged to the phylum Acidobacteria and genera Calocera, Pseudogymnoascus, and Trichosporon. Intercropping promoted the secretion of flavonoids, alkaloids, and nucleotides and their derivatives in the rhizosphere soil and significantly increased the contents of organoheterocyclic compounds in the bulk soil. Furthermore, the AP and AK contents, and pH value had strong positive correlations with bacteria. In addition, co-occurrence network analysis also showed that asebogenin, trachelanthamidine, 5-methyldeoxycytidine, and soil pH were the key factors mediating root-soil-microbe interactions.ConclusionIntercropping can alter microbial community structures and soil metabolite composition in rhizosphere and bulk soils, enhancing soil nutrient contents, enriching soil beneficial microbes and secondary metabolites (flavonoids and alkaloids) of intercropped pepper, and provided a scientific basis for sustainable development in the pepper-maize intercropping system.

Project description:Sugarcane-legume intercropping systems can effectively control pests and diseases as well as improve the fertility and health of farmland soil. However, little is known about the response of bacterial abundance, diversity, and community composition in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils under the sugarcane-peanut farming system. A field experiment was conducted with two treatments: sugarcane monoculture and sugarcane-peanut intercropping to examine the response of sugarcane parameters and edaphic factors. We also deciphered bacterial abundance, diversity, and community composition in the root endosphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil by leveraging Illumina sequencing to conduct the molecular characterization of the 16S rRNA gene and nitrogenase (nifH) gene. We observed that sugarcane-peanut intercropping exhibited the advantages of tremendously increasing cane stalk height, stalk weight, and millable stalk number/20 m, and edaphic factors, namely, pH (1.13 and 1.93), and available phosphorus exhibited a fourfold and sixfold increase (4.66 and 6.56), particularly in the rhizosphere and bulk soils, respectively. Our result also showed that the sugarcane-peanut intercropping system significantly increased the bacterial richness of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing data by 13.80 and 9.28% in the bulk soil and rhizosphere soil relative to those in the monocropping sugarcane system, respectively. At the same time, sugarcane intercropping with peanuts significantly increased the Shannon diversity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the sugarcane rhizosphere soil. Moreover, most edaphic factors exhibited a positive regularity effect on bacterial community composition under the intercropping system. A linear discriminant analysis with effect size analysis of the 16S rRNA sequencing data revealed that bacteria in the root endosphere of the intercropped cane proliferated profoundly, primarily occupied by Devosia, Rhizobiales, Myxococcales, Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Sphingomonas. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that sugarcane-peanut intercropping can enhance edaphic factors, sugarcane parameters, and bacterial abundance and diversity without causing adverse impacts on crop production and soil.
