Bio-matrix film mulching enhances Salvia miltiorrhiza quality by reprogramming the rhizosphere microbiota and activating the secondary metabolic pathway

Key Points

• Quality enhancement of salvia miltiorrhiza is linked to changes in the rhizosphere microbiota.
• The study shows that bio-matrix film mulching significantly activates the secondary metabolic pathway.
• This approach involves assessing plant quality influenced by soil microbiome interactions and metabolic responses.
• These findings imply that innovative mulching techniques may boost plant quality and soil health.
