Abstract The microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of different biotypes is influenced by different factors like plant species, root exudates and soil environment. Culturable microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of six biotypes (Chenopodium murale (CM), Spergula arvensis (SA), Launaea nudicaulis (LN), Brassica juncea (BJ), Phalaris minor (PM) and Triticum aestivum (TA)) growing in variable saline environment (ECe  8.0 dS m−1) was assessed and compared with the diversity of bulk soils (BS) of same environments. The significantly (P
