Following publication of the original article [1], the authors advised that their article had published with an error in the title.

The title read “Reduced microbial potential for the degradation of phenolic compounds in the rhizosphere of apples seedlings grown in soils affected by replant disease”.

While the correct title is “Reduced microbial potential for the degradation of phenolic compounds in the rhizosphere of apple plantlets grown in soils affected by replant disease”.

That is, the title referred to ‘seedlings’ in place of ‘plantlets’, which was the incorrect term because clonal plantlets (from the apple rootstock M26) were used, not seedlings.

The title has since been corrected in the original article.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
