Microbiol. 16:1536524. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1536524.In "[Furthermore, microorganisms can also suppress plant pathogens. Some antagonistic microorganisms can inhibit the activity of soilborne pathogens through mechanisms such as competition for niches and the production of antibiotics, thereby reducing the occurrence of plant diseases (Niu et al., 2020). Organic fertilizers contain abundant organic matter and microorganisms, which can enhance the activity and diversity of beneficial microbial communities in the soil, improving the soil's disease resistance (Li Q. et al., 2022). Therefore, the combined application of mineral and organic fertilizers not only directly supplements soil nutrients but also improves the structure of microbial communities, promoting the beneficial functions of microorganisms, and thereby enhancing overall soil fertility (Figure 3) (Pires, D., et al., 2023)]"

Keywords: soil microbial community, Mixed fertilizer, Environmental benefits, water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, sustainable agriculture
