Abstract:

Study the effects of biochar on the physical and chemical properties of Panax notoginseng rhizosphere soil and fungal community structure will be conducive to deeply understanding the soil condition of continuous cropping of P. notoginseng, and to providing scientific basis and theoretical guidance for soil improvement and ecological planting of P. notoginseng. In this study, tobacco stalk carbon TB, rice husk carbon RB were selected as experimental materials, and the treatment without biochar as control CK. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of two kinds of biochar on the physical and chemical properties of biennial P. notoginseng rhizosphere soil and the structure of fungal community. Analysis was performed by high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that the application of biochar improved the survival rate of P. notoginseng, and the pH value, soil available phosphorus, microbial biomass carbon and available potassium promoted the survival rate of P. notoginseng, while ammonium nitrogen inhibited the survival rate of P. notoginseng. Soil pH value presented a positive contribution to acid phosphatase and urease activities, but had an inhibitory effect on invertase. Through the analysis of fungal community diversity, adding two biochar significantly improved the fungal community structure in P. notoginseng continuous cropping land, and improved the diversity and richness of soil fungal in the rhizosphere of P. notoginseng. There was obvious differentiation in the community structures under different treatments. After applying biochar, the relative abundance of Ascomycota significantly increased, and the relative abundance of Basidiomycota and Mortierellomycota significantly reduced. At the genus level, compared with the CK, the relative abundance of Fusarium, Aspergillus and Alternaria decreased significantly(P< 0.05). The abundance of Botryotinia increased significantly(P< 0.01). Combined with Pearson correlation analysis and RDA, pH value, nitrate nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were the main environmental factors causing the community structure and diversity of P. notoginseng fungi. Biochar results in the survival rate increasing of P. notoginseng by increasing soil pH value, available phosphorus, microbial biomass carbon content and fungal community diversity and reducing the abundance of pathogenic bacteria.
