TABLE 2.

Effect of bacterial (BHU-AV3) inoculation on tomato plant growth parameters under salt stress conditions.

Treatments	Shoot length (cm)	Root length (cm)	RWC (%)	Chlorophyll (μg/g FW)	Biomass content (g)
T1	18.6 ± 1.2^a	6.7 ± 0.8^a	85.6 ± 3.7^a	80.9 ± 4.3^a	0.28 ± 0.03^a
T2	9.0 ± 0.6^c	3.4 ± 0.4^c	34.0 ± 2.6^c	45.0 ± 3.2^c	0.13 ± 0.04^c
T3	16.5 ± 0.9^a	7.8 ± 0.6^a	88.6 ± 3.1^a	84.6 ± 2.9^a	0.31 ± 0.03^a
T4	13.0 ± 0.7^b	5.2 ± 0.7^b	65.0 ± 2.9^b	70.0 ± 2.0^b	0.20 ± 0.02^b

T1, control; T2, salt (NaCl); T3, bacterial (BHU-AV3) inoculation; and T4, bacterial inoculation + salt. Values represent the mean ± SD, n = 3. Different superscript letters in the same column are significantly different (p = 0.05, DMRT analysis was carried out).
