Values are mean ± SD of four replication samples in each group; Column means followed by common superscript are not significant at 5 % level by DMRT; *** indicates P < 0.001; ** indicates P < 0.01& * indicates P < 0.05 versus control.
T1: Uninoculated Control; T2: Seeds treated with liquid formulation; T3: Seeds treated with liquid formulation and the soil amended with organic manure (Farmyard); T4: Soil amended with organic manure (Farmyard) alone; T5: Seeds treated with lignite (solid) based bioinoculant.
