Nutrient uptake and rhizosphere microbial community as related to yield advantage in broomcorn millet‒alfalfa intercropping under different row configurations by Shengzhican Li, Ashanjiang Yiminijiang, Ruoxuan Li, Mandi Wu, Mingxiu Long, Peizhi Yang, Shubin He

“…Moreover, co-occurrence network and PLS-PM (partial least squares path modelling) analysis showed alfalfa-broomcorn millet intercropping system changed the community diversity and composition of soil microorganisms, increased the improvement of soil nutrition (TN, NH4 +-N and microbial biomass), and promoted the absorption of different nutrients by plants (N, P and K) mainly through the negative regulation of AMF and the synergistic effect of AMF on diazotrophs, and finally increased crop yield. This shows that broomcorn millet-alfalfa intercropping can increase plant nutrient content by adjusting soil nutrients and soil microbial activities, thereby increasing yield. …”
