Long-term organic and mineral fertilization strategies shape the rhizosphere microbiota and performance of lettuce

International audience; Belowground plant-microbe interactions are crucial for plant development and health. Although previous studies have shown that soil microbial communities are influenced by fertilization strategies, less is known about the aboveground plant response to the rhizosphere microbiota assemblage shaped by agricultural management strategies. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of long-term fertilization strategies across field sites on the rhizosphere prokaryotic (Bacteria and Archaea) community composition and plant performance. We conducted growth chamber experiments with lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivated in soils from two long-term field experiments sit…
