Soil nutrient levels are associated with suppression of banana Fusarium wilt disease. In this image, the forest plots and heatmap illustrate chemical properties of soils suppressive or conducive to Fusarium wilt (a). The violin plot illustrates the abundance levels of microbial functional genes related to disease suppression (b). The heatmap presenting the abundance levels of microbial functional genes related to soil nutrient cycling (c). Phosphorus improvement lead to enhanced soil suppressiveness to banana Fusarium wilt disease, especially in the rhizosphere, and this may be related to nutrient related genes.
