Summary

Researchers investigated how white grub larvae feeding on rice roots alters the surrounding soil microbial community in the rhizosphere, finding that the pest disrupts the balance of beneficial microorganisms that support plant health. Understanding these changes could help develop more targeted approaches to protect rice crops from this soil-dwelling pest.

Based on the results we provide new insight for understanding the adaptation of aerobic rice to M. verticalis larvae feeding via regulating the rhizosphere environment, which would allow us to facilitate translation to more effective measures.
