The influence of intercropping Paris polyphylla with Polygonatum cyrtonema or Ganoderma lucidum on rhizosphere soil microbial community structure and quality of Paris polyphylla

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how planting Paris polyphylla (a rare medicinal plant) together with other plants affects soil health and medicine quality. Growing P. polyphylla alone caused problems like soil nutrient depletion and harmful microorganism growth. When grown alongside Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms or Polygonatum cyrtonema plants, the soil became healthier with better nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. This resulted in higher yields and better quality medicinal compounds in the P. polyphylla.

Researchers found that treating soil with a combination of dazomet fumigant and azoxystrobin fungicide effectively eliminated violet root rot disease in Codonopsis tangshen plants grown repeatedly on the same land. The treatment worked by killing harmful disease-causing fungi while promoting beneficial soil bacteria that protect plant roots. This approach increased crop yield by 5-6 fold while maintaining important medicinal compounds in the plant roots, offering farmers a sustainable solution to a serious agricultural problem.
