Implication

This research investigates how soil fumigants affect microbial communities and tomato yield in continuous cropping systems, suggesting potential benefits for agriculture.

Key Points

The research aims to examine the impact of different soil fumigants on microbial communities, tomato yield, and soil-borne diseases in continuous cropping.
Analyzed soils from a 7-year continuous cropping tomato greenhouse.
Compared treated soils using dazomet, metam sodium, and calcium cyanamide with unfumigated control.
Collected rhizosphere soil samples at seedling recovery and fruiting stages.
Assessed changes in microbial diversity, richness, and prevalence of soil-borne pathogens.
Soil fumigation decreased microbial community richness and diversity at the seedling recovery stage.
Fumigants inhibited pathogenic genera like Amesia and Fusarium but some pathogens recovered at the fruiting stage.
Dazomet increased beneficial genera and improved tomato yield significantly, with a yield increase of 35.41% compared to control.
