Crop rotation patterns affect the growth, soil properties, and rhizosphere microbiome of cut chrysanthemums

BackgroundContinuous cropping obstacles in cut chrysanthemum, which are characterized by soil nutrient imbalance, reduced enzyme activities, and disrupted rhizosphere microbial communities, restrict the development of its industry. This study investigated the regulatory effects of crop rotation on soil properties and microbial communities, and compared the mitigation efficiency of different rotation patterns.ResultsAt 60 days of growth, cut chrysanthemums under crop rotation systems exhibited si
