Effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on young apple tree growth and fruit yield under orchard conditions (2007, background): “Rootstock genotype affected tree growth and bacterial rhizosphere community composition in an experimental orchard (Rumberger et al., 2004).”
Orchard floor management practices that maintain vegetative or biomass groundcover stimulate soil microbial activity and alter soil microbial community composition (2005, background): “In a study of the effects of soil management, rootstock genotype and planting position on apple replant disorder, rhizosphere bacterial communities were most strongly affected by rootstock genotype and planting position (old row versus grass lane) than by soil management (compost addition or fumigat”
Long-term orchard groundcover management systems affect soil microbial communities and apple replant disease severity (2008, methodology): “DGGE was performed as described previously using a denaturing gradient of 33 to 45% (Rumberger et al., 2004).”
Soil fumigation and compost amendment alter soil microbial community composition but do not improve tree growth or yield in an apple replant site (2006, background): “Since the positive effects of fumigation and compost amendment rely on suppressing harmful microbial activities, and apple rootstocks are also known to modify the microbial communities of their rhizosphere (Rumberger et al., 2004), we aimed to examine how these treatments influenced soil microbial c”
