Abstract
The continuous obstacles of cropping cause severe economic loss, which seriously threaten agricultural sustainable development. In addition, managing excess waste, such as potato peel and mineral waste residues, is a vital burden for industry and agriculture. Therefore, we explored the feasibility of reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) with potato peel and amendment with iron mineral waste residues for the production of Fritillaria thunbergii, which is vulnerable to continuous obstacles. In this study, the influences of iron mineral, RSD with different organic maters, as well as the combined effects of iron mineral and RSD on Fritillaria rhizosphere soil physicochemical properties, microbial communities, and Fritillaria production were investigated. The results revealed that the RSD treatments with potato peel significantly reduced the soil salinity and increased the soil pH, microbial activity, organic matter, and the contents of K and Ca. RSD with potato peel also significantly thrived of the beneficial microbes (Bacillus, Azotobacter, Microvirga, and Chaetomium), and down-regulated potential plant pathogens. RSD with potato peel significantly promoted F. thunbergii yield and quality. Moreover, the combined effects of RSD and iron mineral amendment further enhanced soil health, improved microbial community composition, and increased the yield and peimisine content of F. thunbergii by 24.2% and 49.3%, respectively. Overall, our results demonstrated that RSD with potato peel and amendment with iron mineral waste residues can efficiently improve soil fertility, modify the microbial community, and benefit for both the sustainable production of F. thunbergii and the management of waste.
Key points
• RSD increases soil pH, organic matter, microbial activity, and mineral content
• RSD with potato peel enriches beneficial microbes and decreases plant pathogens
• PP + Fe treatment increases Fritillaria yield by 24.2% and peimisine content by 49.3%
