title: ITS-seq of Sc: fungi
design: After 16 weeks rhizospheric soil samples were collected from the 32 samples comprised of 8 treatment groups with four replicates each  positive control, negative controls, PF low, PF high, SC low, SC high; SCPF low, and SCPF high. Thereafter, the collected soil samples were homogenized and sieved (2-mm mesh size) and stored at  80 oC until required for DNA extraction.
