Cassava–soybean intercropping alleviates continuous cassava cropping obstacles by improving its rhizosphere microecology by Huixian Chen, Lixia Ruan, Sheng Cao, Wen He, Haixia Yang, Zhenhua Liang, Hengrui Li, Wanling Wei, Zhenling Huang, Xiu Lan

“…To find an effective method to alleviate the obstacle of cassava continuous cropping and explore the effect of cassava–soybean intercropping, this study analysed the differences in cassava agronomic traits, yield, soil physicochemical properties, microbial community structure, and metabolites between cassava single cropping (M) and cassava–soybean intercropping (MD) and its effects on continuous cassava cropping soil.MethodsThe correlations between yield, agronomic traits, soil physicochemical properties, microbial diversity, and metabolites were explored, and the effect of the cassava–soybean intercropping model on cassava soil was revealed.ResultsThe results showed that compared with group M, soil pH, porosity, organic matter, available nitrogen, and fresh potato yield in the MD group significantly increased by 8.59, 13.66, 20.68, 23.29, and 50.61%, respectively, and soil bulk density significantly decreased by 9.68%. Soil bacterial community diversity in the MD group did not change significantly but had significant effects on soil fungal community diversity. …”
