Abstract The micro-sprinkler irrigation mulched (MSM) has been suggested as a novel water-saving approach in controlled environment agriculture. However, the effects of microbial community structure and enzyme activity in the rhizosphere soil on crop growth under MSM remain unclear. This study conducted a randomized experimental design using greenhouse tomatoes to investigate changes in bacterial community structure and enzyme activity in rhizosphere soil under different irrigation frequencies (F) and amounts (I) of MSM. The findings revealed that with the increase of F or I, The total count of soil bacteria in tomatoes first rose and then fell… More >
