Background and aims High-throughput 454 pyrosequencing was applied to investigate
differences in bacterial and fungal communities between replant and closely situated control …

Intercropping is an important soil management practice for increasing orchard productivity
and land-use efficiency because it has beneficial effects on soil microbial communities and …

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a soil-disease syndrome of complex etiology that affects
apple tree roots in replanted orchards, resulting in stunted tree growth and reduced yields …

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a complex syndrome that affects young trees in replanted
orchard sites causing necrotic lesions on feeder roots, stunted tree growth and reduced …

We used a next-generation, Illumina-based sequencing approach to characterize the
bacterial community development of apple rhizosphere soil in a replant site (RePlant) and a …

Application of bioorganic fertilizers has been reported to improve crop yields and change
soil bacterial community structure; however, little work has been done in apple orchard soils …

Aims: Bacterial communities in the apple phyllosphere were examined quantitatively and
qualitatively by applying culture‐dependent and culture‐independent methods. Methods …

Nurseries producing apple and rose rootstock plants, apple orchards as well as rose
production often experience replanting problems after several cultivations at the same site …

We used DNA-based pyrosequencing to characterize the bacterial community structure of
apple rhizosphere soil with different manure ratios. Five percentages of manure (5%, 10 …

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a disease complex that reduces survival, growth and yield of
replanted trees, and is often encountered in establishing new orchards on old sites. Methyl …
