Orchard management alters citrus root and rhizosphere microbiomes with functional consequences for plant performance

Nichole A. Ginnan, Riley Jones, Jessica Wu-Woods, Tariq Pervaiz, Ashraf El‐Kereamy, Vanessa Ashworth, M. Imran Hamid, Emma K. Dawson, Sarah L. Strauss, Jason Stajich, Philippe E. Rolshausen, M. Caroline Roper

This study shows that orchard management practices alter citrus root and rhizosphere microbiomes, which in turn affect plant performance through microbial community changes.
