Chitin amendments eliminate the negative impacts of continuous cropping obstacles on soil properties and microbial assemblage

摘要: Soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) is an important crop in China (Liu et al., 2008). The largest soybean production area in China is located in Heilongjiang Province, with the planting area increasing from 3.3 million ha in 2017 to nearly 6.8 million ha in 2022 (Yin et al., 2017; Wu, 2022). Given that soybean is highly susceptible to continuous cropping (Liu et al., 2019), an increasing frequency of soybean monoculture may result in extensive soil health deterioration and substantial losses of crop yield (Liu et al., 2012; Xu et al., 2021).
