Abstract

We examined potato rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities across three regions: Cheongju, Pyeongchang, and Gangneung. These regions have varying soil and climate conditions, resulting in different yields. We found that precipitation was the main limiting factor in our study while soil physiochemical factors affect bacterial and fungal microbiota in correlation with yield. Both bacterial and fungal microbiota showed distinct patterns according to the regions. ASVs positively correlated with yield were predominantly found in the Pyeongchang region which also produced the highest yields, while ASVs negatively correlated with yield were associated with Gangneung where the lowest yields were observed. The greatest bacterial and fungal diversity was detected in Pyeongchang consisting of Propionibacteriales, Burkholderiales, and Vicinamibacteriales. Gangneung, on the other hand primarily belong to Sordariales, Mortierellales, Cystofilobasidiales, and Tremellales. The putative yield-negative ASVs detected in Gangneung may have been influenced by drought stress. This work has highlighted key bacterial and fungal taxa as well as core taxa that may potentially be associated with high and low yields of potato in relation to metadata which includes soil chemical and physical parameters as well as weather data. Taken together we suggest that this information can be used to assess site suitability for potato production.
