Average shoot fresh weight and height of 15 plantlets for each treatment (mean ± SD). Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Cucumber plants grown in soil containing F, the spore suspension of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (2 mL of 4–5 × 104 CFU/mL); F + S, the spore suspension of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (2 mL of 4–5 × 104 CFU/mL) and the spore suspension of strain HAAG3-15 (2 mL of 4–5 × 106 CFU/mL); N, no microorganism (2 mL of sterile tap water); and S, the spore suspension of HAAG3-15 (2 mL of 4–5 × 106 CFU/mL).
