Intercropping between persimmon and apple enriched the leaf endophytes and rhizosphere communities against apple root rot
The overall study concludes that intercropping apples and persimmons maintains the beneficial microbial balance and plant growth and helps to prevent dysbiosis caused by pathogens. Based on this shift in microbiome balance, a management strategy for apple root rot is discussed.
