Growth indicators of tomato plants at 50 DAT with no plant inoculation (control) and inoculation with DSE fungi and fertilization with an inorganic N source (ammonium sulfate-15N).
| Treatment | Aboveground dry biomass (g plant−1) | Plant height (cm plant−1) | Leaf number (unit plant−1) | Total leaf area (cm2 plant−1) | Stem diameter (mm plant−1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 16.9 ± 0.6 | 63 ± 1.82 | 14 ± 0.66 | 1, 727 ± 61b | 10 ± 0.60 |
| A101 | 17.1 ± 0.6 | 68 ± 1.38 | 15 ± 0.73 | 2, 041 ± 59a | 10 ± 0.28 |
| A104 | 18.4 ± 0.5 | 67 ± 2.07 | 16 ± 0.51 | 2, 044 ± 132a | 10 ± 0.26 |
| A105 | 17.4 ± 0.5 | 67 ± 0.81 | 16 ± 0.40 | 2, 016 ± 61a | 11 ± 0.56 |
| CV (%) | 12.13 | 5.37 | 8.6 | 9.61 | 10.21 |
Means ± SE (n = 5) followed by the same lowercase letter in the column indicates results do not differ by the LSD t-test (p < 0.05). The absence of letters indicates no significant difference by the F-test (p < 0.05). DAT, days after germination. SE, standard error.
