Taxonomic diversity of the soil microbiomes at plant harvest (T_H). Diversity is influenced by potato stock Pectobacterium levels and potentially potato variety. Colours represent potato stock (EstimaZero—E, JellyLow—JL and JellyHigh—JH), time-point (plant harvest—T_H) and soil sample type (Ridge—Ri, Root—Ro). Symbols represent the irrigation regimes (Unirrigated, Irrigation_1, Irrigation_2, and Irrigation 3). A The relative distribution of taxa (Pielou’s evenness) and diversity (Richness) within the communities. Pair-wise ANOVA P-values are displayed P < 0.05*, P < 0.01**, and P < 0.001***. B Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on Bray–Curtis distance of beta diversity dissimilarity between the communities
