Evaluation shows soils develop nematode suppression in banana plantations, indicating ecological shifts over years.
An evaluation of banana plantations, sown between 1 and 10 years ago, suggested that over time soils can become suppressive to root-knot nematodes. Lu et al. linked this transition to shifts in rhizosphere microbiomes, enrichment of free-living nematodes, and the emergence of a keystone Bacillus taxon, highlighting cross-kingdom interactions.
