Crop diversification is pivotal in sustainable agriculture, influencing soil microbial communities and nutrient cycling functions. Yet, the impacts of incorporating medicinal plants into crop strategies on functional characteristics these remain understudied. This research elucidates benefits diversified cropping systems by assessing content, diversity composition microorganisms, abundance genes involved carbon (C), nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) cycling, overall agricultural productivity; collectively referred to as ecological benefits. The experimental design included four treatment groups: (1) continuous maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation (MC); (2) maize–A. lancea (Atractylodes Thunb.) intercropping (MA); (3) maize–sorghum (Sorghum bicolor rotation (MS); (4) combined with sorghum (MSA).

The rhizosphere microbiome plays a critical role in plant health and productivity by fostering beneficial microbial interactions that support nutrient cycling, stress tolerance, disease suppression. In the context of Dendrobium , understanding its is essential for optimizing cultivation promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This review explores focusing on mechanisms contribute to health, growth their implications agriculture. study highlights diverse composition communities rhizosphere, including key bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas fluorescens Bacillus subtilis ), fungi Glomus spp.), biocontrol agents ( Trichoderma discusses roles suppression, promotion. emphasizes significance plant-microbe signaling, such as production flavonoids, phytohormones, strigolactones, shaping environment enhancing resilience. Additionally, it addresses modern techniques analyzing communities, metagenomics next-generation sequencing, applications advancing precision Future research should focus bridging knowledge gaps related genotype-microbiome interactions, exploring emerging consortia integration management agriculture systems improve productivity.
