RESUMO
Panax notoginseng is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and it is mainly distributed in Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces and only can be planted in a very narrow geographical environment. Its yield is significantly limited by continuous cropping obstacles in the cultivation process, which has seriously affected the application and development of P. notoginseng. The dynamic patterns of root and soil rhizosphere microbial community response were main reasons for the continuous cropping obstacle. In this paper, the dynamic changes of the root and rhizosphere systems, pathogenic microorganisms and symbiotic microorganisms in the formation of P. notoginseng continuous cropping obstacles were analyzed, and the progress in this field was summarized. Two methods for studying soil and root microorganism of continuous cropping process are proposed: 1. The dynamic analysis of microorganism in the rhizosphere and root of P. notoginseng must be completed with the method of pure-culture and culture-independent; 2. Quantitative analysis of main pathogenic microorganisms of P. notoginseng. It will provide theoretical basis for overcoming continuous cropping obstacles in plant of P. notoginseng.
