The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism and efficacy of Lvnonglin ^®41 compound microbial fertilizer in mitigating black pepper continuous cropping obstacles from the perspectives of soil nutrients, microbial community structure and diversity, so as to provide technical strategies for the industrial cultivation of black pepper in Hainan. Field experiments were conducted on a plot with a history of severe black pepper Fusarium wilt. Four treatments were designed: water control (CK), Lvnonglin^® 41 compound microbial fertilizer (LNL41), compound microorganisms (CM), and bacterial fertilizer nutrient substrate (NS). The incidence of Fusarium wilt in the rhizosphere, plant growth and soil nutrients were measured. Using 16S rDNA sequencing technology, the differences in the occurrence of black pepper Fusarium wilt and the bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere soil under LNL41 application were explored. The results showed that compared with CK, all treatments exhibited certain effects, with the LNL41 treatment being the most effective. Soil nutrient indicators in the LNL41 and CM treatments were significantly higher than those in CK. The increases in chlorophyll content, spike length and 1000-grain weight under LNL41, CM and NS treatments reached 26.12%-67.87%, 6.20%-18.33% and 1.48%-6.44%, respectively. The incidence rates at different growth stages in the LNL41 treatment were 2.67%-15.67%, with control efficacies of 81.64%-90.06%. The Ace and Chao1 indices of rhizosphere soil bacteria increased by 12.82%-20.28% and 12.89%-18.78%, respectively, and the Shannon diversity index increased by 1.05%-3.53%, while the Simpson index showed no significant difference among treatments. At the order level, Chitinophagales, Rhizobiales and Burkholderiales were the dominant bacterial orders. At the genus level, Gaiella, P3OB 42, Lactobacillus, Pseudolabrys and Terrimonas were the dominant bacterial genera. The abundances of the common dominant genus Bacillus and Candidatus Omnitrophus were similar across treatments. Linear discriminant analysis (LEfSe) results indicated the presence of six indicator bacterial taxa in the LNL41 treatment. Ellin6067 and Tepidisphaera showed significant or highly significant positive correlations with soil pH, organic matter, available potassium, ammonium nitrogen and available phosphorus. Network analysis further revealed that the LNL41 treatment enhanced the complexity and stability of the soil bacterial co-occurrence network. Bugbase functional prediction demonstrated that the abundance of stress tolerant functional groups in the LNL41 treatment increased by 5.38 percentage points, while it decreased by 10.43 and 7.25 percentage points in the CM and NS treatments, respectively. LNL41 significantly improved the ratio of soil nutrients, thereby enhancing the structure and functional characteristics of the soil bacterial community, stimulating bacterial stress tolerance functions, promoting black pepper growth, and reducing the incidence of Fusarium wilt.

Tea tree oil (TTO) chitosan emulsion was prepared by ultra-high pressure homogenization method with natural TTO and chitosan as raw materials, Tween-80 as emulsifying agent, and ethanol as co-emulsifying agent. The preparation conditions were optimized by response surface test. The storage stability of TTO chitosan emulsion at different temperatures was investigated, and its antioxidant activity and mildew proof properties were evaluated. The optimal preparation conditions of the emulsion were as follows, the homogenization pressure 160 MPa, the mass fraction of tea tree oil 12%, and the mass fraction of compound emulsifier 4%. Under the conditions, the particle size of the emulsion was 99.24 nm. When stored at 4, 25 and 50 ℃ for 28 days, the particle size remained within 164 nm, the Zeta potential all exceeded 39 mV, and the PDI remained within 0.53, indicating that the storage stability of the emulsion was good. The IC₅₀ value of DPPH radical and OH radical of the emulsion was 22.82 μL /mL and 18.75 μL/mL, respectively, indicating that the emulsion had good antioxidant activity. The mildew proof test showed that the mildew proof ability of bamboo treated with TTO chitosan emulsion was higher than that of untreated bamboo. When the treatment concentration was 80 μL/mL, the antifungal effect was significant.
