[Display omitted] •No-tillage increases soil bacterial diversity and had no significant effect on fungal diversity.•Effect of no-tillage on microbial diversity is affected by soil type and stubble retention.•Nitrogen application (100–200 kg ha–1) increased soil microbial diversity under no-tillage.•...
