Crop rotation and no-tillage increased nematode abundance and functional metabolic footprint.
Biomass of bacteria and fungi strongly enhanced in crop rotation and no-tillage treatments.
Bacterial and predator–prey pathways were dominant in rotation and no-tillage practices.
Long-term banana-based rotation and no tillage reduced plant-feeding nematodes abundance.
Banana-based rotation system benefits a more diverse residue resource entry into soil food webs.
