fertilization using high-throughput sequencing in paddy field soil has to date, not been
extensive. Using 454 pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes, the current study investigated
how bacterial succession changed under seven different fertilizer regimes (NP, NK, PK,
NPK, compost, NPK+ compost and unfertilized) in a 45-year old paddy field trial. Of the
selected treatment variables the application of compost best enhanced soil fertility …
