China is the biggest producer of strawberry and has largest cultivation area worldwide. This study adopted an experimental method to explore effect vermicompost addition on yield quality strawberries investigate influence composition activity microbial communities in soilless systems. The significantly increased three soil enzymes, namely cellulase, urease, acid phosphatase. Furthermore, it nitrogen content strawberry-planted substrate, through NO 3 -N alkaline-N contents organic matter, as well available-K cation exchange capacity, but with no significant available-P substrate. Vermicompost effectively improved growth plants by transforming diversity increasing level beneficial transcription. average plant first-crop fruit vermicompost-treated was higher than that control. a biocontrol strain named JNS-1 isolated from vermicompost, which showed good direct inhibitory against mycelial Fusarium oxysporum Neopestalotiopsis spp. According its morphology 16S rRNA gene sequences, identified Bacillus velezensis . In greenhouse pot experiments field trials, B. found be effective controlling root rot disease. focuses using enhance health providing theoretical basis for use fields.

Growing substrates are essential to aquaponic systems and play an important role in vegetable growth water quality. In this study, innovative combination of coconut bran biochar was explored as a substrate for systems. The control group utilized 100% the substrate, whereas treatment groups (T1-T5) contained 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% biochar, respectively. To determine optimal substrates, properties, lettuce performance, soil enzyme activity, nitrogen content microbial communities were analyzed. Our findings indicate that incorporation significantly altered properties resulting increased dry bulk densities, pH, water-holding capacity, well decreased electrical conductivity, water-absorption porosity. Furthermore, notable increase fresh weight observed groups. activities fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDA), urease (UE), nitrate reductase (NR), hydroxylamine (HyR) initially then decreased, reaching their maximum values T3 group. Conversely, activity nitrite (NiR) contents available nitrogen, ammonia increased, with minimum sequencing results showed diversity relative abundance microbes associated transformation. Consequently, 30% had greatest effect on growth. This study has enormous potential research development green technologies amendment
