Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants differently modulate apple rhizosphere microbiomes and plant responses Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants induce distinct alterations in the rhizosphere and soil microbiome of apple grown under replanting condition

Congratulations to our Phd student Kristin Hauschild to her first-author-paper no.3 🥳 Here we tested whether different soil amendment strategies (catch crops, microbial inoculants) can improve apple plant performance in replant disease-affected soil.

We are excited to attend the #Rhizosphere6 conference in Edinburgh. Don't miss the presentation of @jonkampouris.bsky.social on Monday 16th June 11:40am (session Rhizosphere Microbiome-Function BC2) and the poster presentation by Andrea Braun-Kiewnick on Monday 16th June 5pm!

The Microbiome of Continuous Wheat Rotations: Minor Shifts in Bacterial and Archaeal Communities but a Source for Functionally Active Plant-Beneficial Bacteria | Phytobiomes Journal Continuous wheat cropping often leads to yield decline, with suspected causes including increased pathogen susceptibility, decreased root growth, or low nutrient use efficiency, although the exact cau...

What a pleasure presenting the final results of a two years inoculation field experiment at IOBC-WPRS Biocontrol meeting in Turin today - sampling&analysis was a lot of work, but with many great people and the results paid off. The study will soon be published (proof loading). Stay tuned 😉

...by the way: our profile pic is from exactly this root window experiment 😉
