Variations in durum wheat growth fertilized with rock P in response to inoculation with five PSB isolates versus P (RP and TSP) treatments alone.
SDW (g) | RDW (g) | SH (cm) | RDep(cm) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
RP | 2.16c | 0.66c | 35.35bc | 29.63b |
TSP | 2.72bc | 0.68c | 31.99c | 34ab |
PSB1+RP | 3.68ab | 1.08abc | 40.5ab | 37.74a |
PSB2+RP | 4.20a | 1.23ab | 45.25a | 33.95ab |
PSB3+RP | 3.05bc | 1.21abc | 38.5abc | 36.22a |
PSB4+RP | 3.04bc | 0.87abc | 44a | 36.29a |
PSB5+RP | 3.36ab | 1.30a | 42.5a | 36.49a |
Data are means of four replicates and each replicate consists of eight wheat plants per pot harvested at 42-day after germination. Mean values labeled with the same superscript letter were not significantly different at p < 0.05. SDW, shoot dry weight; RDW, root dry weight; SH, shoot height; RDep, root depth; RP, rock phosphate; TSP, triple super phosphate.
