Effect of the CS-1 strain on growth parameters of wheat seedling

Treatment	Shoot height (cm)	Root length (cm)	Dry weight (g)	Fresh weight (g)	Root/shoot ratio
CK	40.76 ± 0.83a	17.78 ± 1.16a	0.30 ± 0.04b	1.26 ± 0.16b	0.1809 ± 0.011b
CS-1	40.53 ± 1.20a	18.15 ± 1.77a	0.37 ± 0.05a	1.56 ± 0.06a	0.2378 ± 0.011a

Values are mean ± SD (n = 30). Means sharing a common letter within the same column are not significantly different at P < 0.05. “CS-1” denotes wheat seedlings treated with a suspension of strain CS-1 spores. “CK” denotes wheat seedlings treated with an equal volume of sterile water
