Table I. Plant biomass data in control and AM+ tomato plants under NS and WS conditions.
Parameters are expressed as mean values of five replicates ± sd. ANOVA was performed comparing all six treatments, and values with different letters in the same column differ significantly following Tukey’s HSD test (P < 0.05).
