Cover Picture . In this cover picture, yellow drop represents essential oil extracted from Cinnamomum cassia , which was used to prevent and control the occurrence of Panax notoginseng diseases including up‐ground and down‐ground of plants. When essential oil gets to the soil, by using its volatile characteristics with strong odors could inhibit the growth and movement of pathogen. Pathogen covered by the white layer represents its growth inhibited, and the beneficial microbe using light blue and dark yellow ball without layer represent their growth not affected. The theory has long practical history in application of traditional Chinese medicine called “Fangxiang Bihui” labeled in Chinese character in the picture. The purpose of our study is to reduce the toxic chemical pesticide application by using essential oil, and finally get the purpose of the long sustainable development of green eco‐friendly agriculture, as reported by Ma et al . in their full paper at 10.1002/cbdv.201900416.
