TABLE 1.
Effects of different Trichoderma strains (T22, TH1, and GV41) on the growth and productivity of strawberry plants under greenhouse conditions.
| Treatment | Total Yield (TY) (g/plant) | Number of fruits/plant (NF) | Root length (RL) (cm/plant) | Root fresh weight (RFW) (g/plant) | Root dry weight (RDW) (g/plant) |
| Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | Mean ± SD (%) | |
| CTR | 125.4 ± 21.8 a | 6.4 ± 1.2 ab | 22.0 ± 1.9 a | 62.9 ± 5.4 ab | 13.5 ± 1.1 bc |
| T22 | 168.9 ± 25.2 b (35) | 7.5 ± 1.2 c (17) | 24.5 ± 2.2 b (11) | 69.3 ± 7.8 bcd (10) | 15.1 ± 1.3 cd (12) |

Treatments were applied at the time of transplant (by root dip) and monthly by irrigation. Data represent the mean value of 10 biological replicates ± standard deviation (SD). Different letters in a single column indicate statistically significant differences for P < 0.05. Increments or decrements compared to control (CTR) are shown in percent (%) and are reported in parenthesis.
