Fig. 2From: Analysis of exogenous lactic acid bacteria on growth and development of different herbaceous peony varieties and rhizosphere soil nutrientsEffects of LAB on rhizosphere soil pH and conductivity of herbaceous peony and the rates of change. a pH; b Conductivity. D ‘Dafugui’; H ‘Hongxiuqiu’; Z ‘Zifengyu’. D-CK ‘Dafugui’ control group; D-LAB ‘Dafugui’ treatment group, H-CK ‘Hongxiuqiu’ control group; H-LAB ‘Hongxiuqiu’ treatment group, Z-CK ‘Zifengyu’ control group; Z-LAB ‘Zifengyu’ treatment group. Rate of change (ROC): the ratio of the amount of change (difference between the treatment and control groups) to the control group. All values were represented as the mean ± SE of three replicates (n = 3). The same letter in a column indicates that the difference did not reach a significant level (P > 0.05), while different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05)Back to article page
