Influence of EPS producing Rhizobium inoculation on root, shoot and RAS weight in wheat seeds

Treatments	RAS dry weight (g/pot)	Root dry weight (mg/pot)	Shoot dry weight (mg/pot)	RAS Root Ratio	Saccharide in RAS (mg/pot)
Control	0.42	0.05	0.13	8.4	0.15
Rhizobium sp.	2.03	0.19	0.72	10.68	7.75
R. meliloti	1.86	0.15	0.59	12.4	6.16

RAS Roots adhering soil, each value is an average of three replicates
