description Banana is an important fruit and food crop in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Banana production is seriously threatened by Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), a disease caused by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>cubense</i>, and biological control is an important means of curbing this soil-borne disease. To reveal the effects of biocontrol agents on inhibiting FWB and altering the soil bacterial community under natural ecosystems, we conducted experiments at a banana plantation. The control efficiency of a compound microbial agent (CM), <i>Paenibacillus polymyxa</i> (PP), <i>Trichoderma harzianum</i> (TH), and carbendazim (CA) on this disease were compared in the field. Meanwhile, the alterations in structure and function of the rooted soil bacterial community in different treatments during the vigorous growth and fruit development stages of banana were analyzed by microbiomics method. The results confirmed that the different biocontrol agents could effectively control FWB. In particular, CM significantly reduced the incidence of the disease and showed a field control efficiency of 60.53%. In terms of bacterial community, there were no significant differences in the richness and diversity of banana rooted soil bacteria among the different treatments at either growth stage, but their relative abundances differed substantially. CM treatment significantly increased the ratios of <i>Bacillus</i>, <i>Bryobacter</i>, <i>Pseudomonas</i>, <i>Jatrophihabitans</i>, <i>Hathewaya</i>, and <i>Chujaibacter</i> in the vigorous growth stage and <i>Jatrophihabitans</i>, <i>Occallatibacter</i>, <i>Cupriavidus</i>, and 1921-3 in the fruit development stage. Furthermore, bacterial community function in the banana rooted soil was affected differently by the various biocontrol agents. CM application increased the relative abundance of multiple soil bacterial functions, including carbohydrate metabolism, xenobiotic biodegradation and metabolism, terpenoid and polyketide metabolism, lipid metabolism, and metabolism of other amino acids. In summary, our results suggest that the tested biocontrol agents can effectively inhibit the occurrence of banana Fusarium wilt and alter the soil bacterial community in the field. They mainly modified the relative abundance of bacterial taxa and the metabolic functions rather than the richness and diversity. These findings provide a scientific basis for the use of biocontrol agents to control banana Fusarium wilt under field conditions, which serves as a reference for the study of the soil microbiological mechanisms of other biocontrol agents.
