Treatments	RWC (S)	RWC (T)	SMC (S)	SMC (T)
T1	77.1^a (±2.08)	80.8^a (±1.73)	1.25^c (±0.013)	0.93^c (±0.021)
T2	21.9^e (±0.88)	56.1^e (±0.64)	0.44^e (±0.018)	0.34^d (±0.023)
T3	66.4^cd (±1404)	73.1^c (±0.32)	1.34^b (±0.043)	1.46^bc (±0.026)
T4	71.9^b (±2.01)	77.5^b (±1.27)	1.37^a (±0.061)	1.49^a (±0.052)
T5	67.2^c (±1.16)	67.3^d (±0.49)	1^d (±0.036)	1.15^b (±0.038)

T1-Irrigated control, T2-Untreated plants grown under rainfed conditions, T3-Coinouclation of P. chinense and B. cereus, T4-Consortium of PGPR and SA, T5-SA only. Different significance levels were denoted with different letters (a-e). Different letter shows that the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05) within treatments.
