The mechanism of Bacillus subtilis regulating the underground system and bamboo shoot quality of Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) under bamboo charcoal addition
These results reveal a new "soil chemistry-hormone-morphology and biomass-quality" cascade mechanism, and emphasize Bacillus subtilis and bamboo charcoal as promising fertilizers for producing sweet, crisp, and flavorful bamboo shoots. For practical application, it is advised that farmers apply 250 kg·hm-2 Bacillus subtilis as the fertilizer choice for the production of sweet, crisp and juicy bamboo shoots, and 1500 kg·hm-2 bamboo charcoal as the fertilizer choice for the production of bamboo shoots with unique flavors before mulching each November to enhance bamboo shoot quality and supply high-value raw materials for the bamboo industry.
