Summary

Introduction Pea–cucumber rotation combined with straw return as green manure is an environmentally friendly management strategy to suppress cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) Fusarium wilt (FW) and alleviate continuous cropping obstacles. Methods We evaluated the variations in soil microbial compositions and nutrient levels between long-term cucumber monocropping and pea–cucumber rotation patterns via metagenomic sequencing and determination of soil properties.
