Pot experiment investigates Trichoderma fertilizer effects on plant growth and microbial community in horticulture, suggesting benefits for sustainable practices.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer on the growth of Ilex verticillata and its rhizosphere microbial community.
Conducted a pot experiment to test three different fertilizers, focusing on Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer.
Measured plant growth parameters, including biomass, leaf area, and physiological responses.
Analyzed soil properties and rhizosphere microbial community using high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing.
Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer significantly increased biomass and leaf area of Ilex verticillata.
Photosynthetic efficiency and transpiration rate were enhanced, alongside elevated nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the plant.
The fertilizer augmented organic matter and nutrient content in the rhizosphere while promoting beneficial microbial groups related to nitrogen cycling.
