Abstract:

Continuous cropping can bring economic benefits and meet the growing food demand in the short run, but it is not conducive to the sustainable development of soil ecosystem. Long term of continuous cropping can cause a lot of problems such as soil degradation, crop yield reduction, disease rate increase and destroy the balance of soil microbial structure. In a healthy soil ecosystem, beneficial microorganisms, harmful microorganisms and plants maintain a relatively balanced interaction. Microbial community structure often directly implies the development of the whole ecosystem. This article summarizes the effects of continuous cropping on soil microbial community and the previous experience of repairing continuous cropping soil obstacles, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of current remediation methods, in order to provide some suggestions for repairing continuous cropping obstacles and ensuring the sustainable development of soil ecosystem.

Key words: Unbalanced microbial community, Beneficial microorganisms, Harmful microorganisms, Soil health, Superposed restoration techniques
