Intercropping with Robinia pseudoacacia reduces soft rot incidence in konjac by modulating the root bacterial community.

The study showed that intercropping reduced the soft rot incidence by regulating the structure and stability of the konjac root bacterial community, and soil-available phosphorus was the main factor affecting the difference in the konjac root bacterial community, which provided a basis for the management of soil fertilization in konjac cultivation. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
