Abstract:

The effects of different fertilization rates on Mesona chinensis Benth yield and soil bacterial diversity were studied. Field cultivation experiment was conducted. Four treatments with different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers were set up. Weighing method was used to measure the yield of different treatments, Pacbio sequencing platform was used to construct bacterial 16S rRNA gene library in rhizosphere soil of Mesona chinensis Benth, and high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were conducted. The results showed that the yield of Mesona chinensis Benth increased first and then decreased with the increase of fertilization amount. The diversity of bacteria species in rhizosphere soil decreased first and then increased with the increase of fertilization amount. Compared with the control, the dominant population and its content in the soil treated with 300, 450 and 600 kg/hm2 compound fertilizer at the phylum level changed less, at the order level, the relative abundance of Bacteroidales and Xanthomonadales increased, at the genus level, the number of unclassified Acidobacteriales decreased significantly, and at the species level, the abundance of Staphylococcus epidermidis decreased significantly. The NMDS analysis showed that the soil bacterial diversity of non fertilization and fertilization amount of 300 kg/hm2 was different from other treatments, and there was no significant difference between the soil bacterial community diversity of 450 and 600 kg/hm2. The application of 300~450 kg/hm2 compound fertilizer could significantly increase the Mesona chinensis Benth yield and significantly reduce the diversity of soil bacterial diversity. The enrichment of Bacteroidota, Firmicutes and Bacteroidales were greatly affected by fertilization. When the amount of fertilizer was 300 kg/hm2, it was significantly increased. Based on comprehensive consideration, 300 kg/hm2 was the best amount of fertilizer for planting Mesona chinensis Benth.
