Abstract
The microbial communities associated to the rhizosphere (the rhizomicrobiome) have a substantial impact on plant growth and yield. Understanding the effects of agricultural management on the rhizomicrobiome is very important for selecting efficient practices. By sequencing the V4 region of 16S rRNA for bacteria and the ITS1 regions and fungi, we investigated the influences of agronomic practices, including cucumber grafting on cucurbit hybrid (Cucurbita moschata × C. maxima), cucumber-garlic intercropping, and treatment with fungicide iprodione-carbendazim on cucumber rhizosphere microbial communities during plant growth. Soil dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and plant vegetative parameters were assessed as an indicator of overall soil microbial activity. We found that both treatments and growth stage induced significant shifts in microbial community structure. Grafting had the highest number of differentially abundant OTUs compared to control samples, followed by intercropping and fungicide treatment, while plant development stage affected both alpha and beta diversities indices and composition of the rhizomicrobiome. DHA was more dependent on plant growth stages than on treatments. Among the assessed factors, grafting and plant developmental stage resulted in the greatest changes in the microbial community composition. Grafting also increased the plant growth parameters, suggesting that this method should be further investigated in vegetable production systems.
