(a–c) The abundances of rice rhizosphere microorganisms at phylum level under different fertilization modes of slow-release fertilizer. (d–i) The abundances of rice rhizosphere microorganisms at class level under different fertilization modes of slow-release fertilizer. (j–l) The abundances of rice rhizosphere microorganisms at order, family, and genus level under different fertilization modes of slow-release fertilizer. (m–o) The abundances of rice rhizosphere microorganisms at species level under different fertilization modes of slow-release fertilizer. Group comparisons were done using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Calculated p-values less than 0.05 were determined to be statistically significant and indicated on graphs. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance is considered as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ns = p > 0.05.
