Note. values are the means of three replicates;  s indicates highly significant according to T-test at α′ = 0.05. WAI: week after inoculation; all the t-values are highly significant at 0.001%. Means with the same letter at a given parameter are not significantly different according to Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at α = 0.05; values are the means of three replicates ± standard error. Treatments: T2 = N3+ BF + Ganoderma; T5 = K1 + BF + Ganoderma; T6 = K3 + BF + Ganoderma; T8 = N2P2K2 + BF + Ganoderma; T10 = control (compound fertilizer) + BF + Ganoderma.
