Ginger, a vegetable export from China, is well-known for its spicy flavour and use in traditional Chinese medicine. By examining the interactions of ginger plants' microbiome and metabolome, we can gain insights to advance agriculture, the environment, and other fields. Our study used metataxonomic analysis to investigate ginger plants' prokaryotic and fungal microbiomes in open fields and greenhouses. We also conducted untargeted metabolomic analysis to identify specific metabolites closely associated with ginger microbiome assembly under both agricultural conditions. Various bacteria and fungi were classified as generalists or specialists based on their ability to thrive in different environments and microbial niches. Our results indicate that ginger plants grown in greenhouses have a greater prokaryotic diversity, while those grown in open fields exhibit a greater fungal diversity. We have identified specific co-occurring prokaryotic and fungal genera associated with ginger plant agroecosystems that can enhance the health and growth of ginger plants while maintaining a healthy environment. In the open field these genera include Sphingomonas, Methylobacterium-Methylorubrum, Bacillus, Acidovorax, Rhizobium, Microbacterium, unclassified_f_Comamonadaceae, Herbaspirillum, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Chryseobacterium, Nocardioides, Subgroup_10, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Devosia, g_unclassified_f_Chaetomiaceae, Pseudaleuria, Mortierella, Cheilymenia, and Pseudogymnoascus.
