IntroductionPhenolic acids are allelopathic substances that mediate plant-fungal interactions. However, the regulatory effects of phenolic acids on soil microbiota and crop phosphorus (P) uptake remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of continuous addition of cumalic acid (CA) on soil microbial communities and P uptake of rice.MethodsWe continuously added different concentrations of CA to the rhizosphere during the rice growth to investigate its effects on soil fungal
