Abstract

•Application of biodynamic preparations did not cause any positive effects.•Farmyard manure increased bacterial PLFA and muramic acid in soil.•Manure increased the contribution of AMF biomarker PLFA 16:1ω5 to fungal tissue.•Straw incorporation and lower pH increased the ergosterol to microbial biomass C ratio.•Straw incorporation also increased the fungal PLFA 18:2ω6,9 to total PLFA ratio.
