Intercropping of oats with vetch conducts to improved soil bacteriome diversity and structure

In this study, the microbial communities in the rhizosphere of mono-cultivated oat and vetch were compared with microbial communities in the intercropped and cultivated with the addition of mineral fertilization, compost, and biochar. The microbiome of the rhizosphere soil of both plants has been analyzed using 16S metagenomics analysis. The results revealed that the composition and structure of the soil bacterial community changed significantly with cultivation with soil additives and intercropping systems with the same additives.
