Article Synopsis
- Microbes and enzymes are crucial for soil and plant health, particularly in the hemp rhizosphere, but fungicides can negatively affect microorganism diversity and enzyme activity.
- Soil samples from four hemp cultivars were tested under different conditions (natural, inoculated, and fungicide-treated), revealing that fungicides dramatically altered microbiota structure by increasing some microbial phyla while decreasing others.
- Enzymatic activities related to organic matter metabolism were also significantly reduced in fungicide-treated samples across all hemp cultivars, highlighting the ecological implications of fungicide use on soil health.
