Influence of weeding methods on rhizosphere soil and root endophytic microbial communities in tea plants
Summary
Researchers examined how polyethylene mulch used for weed management in tea gardens alters the rhizosphere soil environment, finding that it creates a distinct micro-ecological zone that enriches soil nutrients by influencing the nitrogen cycle and shifts the composition of microbial communities in both soil and root endophytes.
Polyethylene mulch forms an independent micro-ecological environment. At the same time, the soil nutrient environment was enriched by affecting the nitrogen cycle, and the composition of microbial community was affected. This study elucidated the effects of polyethylene mulch on soil microbial community in tea garden and provided a new theoretical understanding for weed management.
