Abstract

The microbiota associated with Vanilla planifolia grown in three production systems in Puebla, México, was evaluated: shade cloth, cocuite, and acahual. Rhizosphere and soil samples were analyzed, from which bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and actinomycetes were isolated. The bacterial and actinomycete isolates were characterized morphologically and biochemically, and their potential as growth promoters was evaluated. Morphological and microscopic characteristics identified the fungi. In parallel, agronomic variables were measured in five plants per system, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05). The results showed that the shade cloth favored a greater number of internodes, total leaves, and biomass, although with a higher incidence of diseased leaves. The cocuite presented intermediate values, while the acahual had lower leaf density but fewer leaf health problems. Microbial composition varied across systems, with potentially beneficial bacteria and actinomycetes, as well as both beneficial and pathogenic fungi, being prominent. These findings demonstrate the influence of the management system on the microbiota and health of V. planifolia, providing a basis for more sustainable production strategies for vanilla cultivation in Mexico.
