Unraveling the Microbiome Dynamics in Soil Fertility: A Comparative Study of Fertile and Infertile Soil in Soybean Cultivation and the Implications for Soybean Productivity
Investigators
Objectives
- Investigate the diversity and abundance of microbial communities in soybean soils
- Identify key microbial species associated with nutrient cycling and soil fertility
- Evaluate the impact of microbial activities on essential soil properties influencing soybean growth.
Expected End Results
Utilizing soil metagenomics tools and soil analyses this research aims to elucidate the complex interplay between soil microbial communities and plant roots, particularly focusing on how soil fertility interaction enhances soybean plant performance and productivity.
