 This study examined the microbial composition and diversity of Straga-Hermonthic infested soil in two different locations. It found that the microbial diversity of the infested soil differed significantly between the two locations, suggesting that the environment plays a role in determining the microbial composition of the soil. This could have implications for how best to manage Straga-Hermonthic infested soil, as understanding the microbial composition of the soil can help us better understand how to control Straga-Hermonthic.
