Analysis of the Differences in Rhizosphere Microbial Communities and Pathogen Adaptability in Chili Root Rot Disease Between Continuous Cropping and Rotation Cropping Systems

Rotating crops (chili with cotton) instead of continuously planting chili improves soil health by increasing helpful bacteria like Bacillus and reducing harmful fungi like Fusarium that cause root rot disease. Researchers studied how different cropping systems change the mix of microorganisms in soil around plant roots and identified two main disease-causing fungi. This research shows that crop rotation is a natural, chemical-free way to prevent chili disease and maintain productive farmland.
