Amplicon-based metagenomics to study the effect of coir age and wood biochar on microbiome in relation to strawberry yield

In the UK, strawberry is mostly grown in coconut coir substrate under protection. Coir substrate is usually used only for one or two cropping seasons because the continuous reuse of coir without any treatment leads to yield decline. In this study, we investigated the changes in bacterial and fungal...
