Nematode community structure in soil microcosms treated with water (control; C), FOLICUR® (Fol), TBZ NF (PCL TBZ) and PCL nanocarriers (PCL carr) after 8 weeks of exposure: A nMDS-plot based on square-root transformed relative nematode genus abundances; symbols represent single replicate microcosms (n = 4; controls: n = 8); arrows mark significant changes of genus composition within the course of the experiment (T0 vs Control) and differences between the control and all treated microcosms; B total nematode densities (individuals/100 g dry soil; mean ± sd; n = 4); C number of genera (mean ± sd; n = 4); D % Rhabditidae (mean ± sd; n = 4; * = significantly different to control); E Maturity Index (MI; mean ± sd; n = 4)
