| Sumario: | Abstract Fusarium wilt disease causes severe decline of watermelon yield and quality. Researches have been reported that soil fumigation with dazomet can help control crop disease. Firstly, we discovered that the dazomet application suppressed watermelon wilt in field experiment compared to the control group. While the importance of microbial community in regulating plant health has been rising up, we therefore focused on examining the soil microbial diversity at six different sampling times after dazomet application by using Illumina MiSeq platform. Remarkably, our research results showed that some beneficial microbial genera have been altered, and these beneficial microbial genera have dominated the entire community, such as Nitrolancea, Pseudomonas and Penicillium after dazomet application. Instead, the relative abundance of Fusarium genus and the pathogen FON (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, FON) had the decreased. As there was a significant accumulation of AP (available soil phosphorus) after dazomet application, we noticed that the beneficial microbes as Bacillus, Nitrolancea, Paenibacillus and Penicillium have significant positive correlation with AP but negatively related to morbidity. Together, these results demonstrate that the altered soil microbial community structure by dazomet application is critical to suppress watermelon Fusarium wilt. Thus, our results will drive investigations aimed to deploy interaction of microbiota contribute and plant immunity. |
