Response of bacterial communities in rubber plantations to different fertilizer treatments.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the effects of chemical fertilizer (CF) and organic fertilizer plus chemical fertilizer application (OF-CF) on natural rubber yield, soil properties, and soil bacterial community were systematically investigated in rubber plantations. The rubber dry yield was 26.3% more in the OF treatment group than in the CF treatment group. The contents of total nitrogen (TN), available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK) as well as soil organic matter (SOM) and pH value were higher following OF-CF treatment. Using Illumina sequencing, a total of 927 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained following CF treatment, while 955 OTUs were obtained after OF-CF treatment. Relative abundance analysis showed the relative abundances of four phyla (A
