The Abundance of Microbial Communities in Hemp Rhizosphere across Hemp Cultivars The number of phyla that showed significant differences (P < 0.05) in the abundance of microbial communities among the three treatments in each of the four diverse cannabinoid-rich hemp cultivars is as follows: 14, 18, 15, and 4 in cultivars Otto II, BaOx, Wife, and Cherry Citrus, respectively ( ). The Abundance of Microbial Communities in Hemp Rhizosphere of Different Cultivars across Fungicide Treatments The number of phyla that showed significant differences (P < 0.05) in the abundance of microbial communities among the four diverse cannabinoid-rich hemp cultivars in each of the three treatments is as follows: 19, 22, and 9 phyla in the treatments of fungal inoculation, fungicide treatment, and natural infection, respectively ( ). This figure provides insights into distinct bacterial populations in the rhizosphere of different hemp cultivars under varied treatment conditions, highlighting significant variations in bacterial abundance among cultivars across the treatments.
