Table 2.

Analysis of similarities of the bacterial community composition detected in different soil treatments with respect to untreated replant disease soil based on OTUs of bacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments.

Treatment Site K Site A
R-value p-value R-value p-value
Basamid 0.48 0.2015 0.56 0.0948
B. juncea 0.22 0.4032 0.48 0.1016
R. sativus 0.30 0.2949 0.74 0.1003
Tagetes −0.26 0.9056 0.07 0.5998

For sites K vs. A, R-value = 0.46 and p < 0.0001. R- (−1 to 1) and p-values were obtained from ANOSIM-test. R-value close to “1” suggests strong dissimilarity between the communities being compared, whereas the value close to “0” represents an even distribution of the communities within and between treatments. The R-value below “0” suggests that dissimilarities are greater within treatment than between treatments.
