Abstract

Organic farming enhances soil health by beneficially modulating the structure and function of rhizospheric microbiome. While organic farms are known to exhibit suppression against specific plant diseases, the phenomenon of “general disease suppressiveness” is relatively less studied. The systemic interactions between abiotic and biotic factors in organically managed fields, rendering soils suppressive against various phytopathogens, have been less studied. The present study aimed to characterize soils from three farmers' fields in North-Western Himalayan region of India, for their pathogen suppression potential, and understanding the relationship between edaphic factors and biological control against a range of phytopathogens. Culture-dependent assays revealed that organically managed fields exhibited better suppressiveness compared to conventional fields, against the tested phytopathogens. The fungal fraction of the soil microbiome showed significant suppression of Ralstonia solanacearum in apple (p = 0.02) and chili (p = 0.003) fields. Similarly, the fungal fraction of soils showed significant suppression (p < 0.05) of Fusarium solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Verticillium dahliae in apple and tomato fields. The soil microbiome's bacterial fraction showed significant (p < 0.05) suppression of Fusarium fujikuroi. Activities of enzymes related to biocontrol, viz. lipase, chitinase, protease and cellulase, and siderophore production were higher in soil from the organic fields than in the conventionally managed fields (p < 0.05). Soil cellulase activity was found to be the lowest among all biocontrol activities in organic apple field soil (0.22 IU/mL) compared to the control soil (0.04 IU/mL). Significantly high siderophore production was detected in the organic soils (93.13 ± 0.32 % siderophore units), and the adjacent soils under natural vegetation (control) (92.81 ± 0.45 % siderophore units), versus conventional soils (89.90 ± 0.79 % siderophore units) from the apple, chili, and tomato fields. Available micronutrients Cu, Fe, and Mn were negatively associated with pathogen suppression. Available Cu was negatively associated with Rhizoctonia solani suppression in apple fields (r = −0.99, p = 0.02) and Fusarium udum in tomato/chili fields (r = −0.91, p = 0.02). From PCA analysis, it was observed that the soil micronutrient availability was a dominant attribute affected by conventional farming practices. The role of mineral nutrients and other biocontrol parameters, such as enzymes and molecular markers, was demonstrated in pathogen suppression in the rhizosphere under different farming practices, emphasizing on the significance of biotic and abiotic factors for the sustainable management of soil-borne pathogens. Adopting sustainable practices and nutrient management will improve the control of soil-borne pathogens in arable land.

耕作方式影响土壤对植物病原体的抑制能力
有机耕作通过调节根瘤微生物群的结构和功能来增强土壤健康。众所周知,有机农场对特定植物病害有抑制作用,但对 "一般病害抑制 "现象的研究相对较少。有机管理田地中的非生物因素和生物因素之间的系统性相互作用,使土壤对各种植物病原体具有抑制作用,这方面的研究也较少。本研究旨在分析印度西北喜马拉雅地区三块农田土壤的病原体抑制潜力,了解土壤环境因子与生物防治一系列植物病原体之间的关系。培养依赖性试验表明,与传统田地相比,有机管理的田地对受测植物病原体的抑制能力更强。土壤微生物组中的真菌部分显示,在苹果(p = 0.02)和辣椒(p = 0.003)田中,对茄属真菌(Ralstonia solanacearum)有显著抑制作用。同样,土壤中的真菌部分对苹果和番茄田中的茄镰孢菌、球孢菌和大丽轮枝菌也有显著抑制作用(p < 0.05)。土壤微生物组的细菌部分对镰刀菌有显著抑制作用(p < 0.05)。与生物防治相关的酶,即脂肪酶、几丁质酶、蛋白酶和纤维素酶的活性以及苷元的产生在有机田的土壤中高于常规管理田(p < 0.05)。与对照土壤(0.04 IU/mL)相比,有机苹果田土壤(0.22 IU/mL)的纤维素酶活性是所有生物防治活性中最低的。有机土壤(93.13 ± 0.32 % 的苷元单位)和邻近的自然植被土壤(对照组)(92.81 ± 0.45 % 的苷元单位)与苹果、辣椒和番茄田的传统土壤(89.90 ± 0.79 % 的苷元单位)相比,苷元单位产量明显较高。可用微量营养元素铜、铁和锰与病原体抑制呈负相关。苹果田中的可用铜与根瘤菌的抑制呈负相关(r = -0.99,p = 0.02),番茄/辣椒田中的可用铜与镰刀菌的抑制呈负相关(r = -0.91,p = 0.02)。从 PCA 分析中可以看出,土壤微量营养元素的可用性是受传统耕作方法影响的主要属性。在不同耕作方式下,矿质养分和其他生物控制参数(如酶和分子标记)在抑制根瘤菌中病原体方面的作用得到了证实,强调了生物和非生物因素对土壤病原体可持续管理的重要性。采用可持续的耕作方式和养分管理将改善对耕地中土传病原体的控制。
