Intertillage during Natural Farming Rice Paddy Production Negatively Impacted the Microbial Abundances in Soils but Not Diversities

<div>Relative abundances for the bacterial community under no tillage (NT) and 5 times tillage (5T) treatment in three different locations (rice proximity, surface, and 10 cm depth) at early vegetative phase and late vegetative phase. <i>Proteobacteria</i> were shown in class level; “N<sub>2</sub> fixing genus” included <i>Pseudomonas, Azoarcus, Rhizobium, Anabaena, Azospirillum,</i> and <i>Bradyrhizobium</i>. Other bacteria were shown in phyla level.</div>
