Table 2.

Chlorophyll content of leaves of plants grown under different water regimes (80, 60, and 40% of WHC) and inoculated with different bacterial treatments: control (non-inoculated soil – no bacteria), B1 S1 (soil inoculated with C. necator 1C2 – S1), B2 S1 (soil inoculated with P. fluorescens S3XS1), MIX S1 (soil inoculated with a mixture of C. necator 1C2 and P. fluorescens S3X – S1; B1 S2 (soil inoculated with C. necator 1C2 – S2), B2 S2 (soil inoculated with P. fluorescens S3X – S2), MIX S2 (soil inoculated with a mixture of C. necator 1C2 and P. fluorescens S3X – S2) at the end of experiment.

Values are means ± standard deviation (n = 5). A two-way ANOVA was performed to determine the influence of bacterial treatments and of water regimes on chlorophyll content. The results are shown with the test statistic for each case (W: water regimes; B: bacterial treatments; W x B: water regimes x bacterial treatments) and as NS: Non significant at the level P > 0.05; ∗ significant at the level P < 0.05; ∗∗ significant at the level P < 0.01; ∗∗∗ significant at the level P < 0.001, respectively. One-way ANOVA was performed to determine the influence of bacterial treatments on chlorophyll content for each water regime at the end of the experiment. Means for the same water regime showing different letters are significantly different from each other (P < 0.05) according to Duncan test. The F values are NS F = 0.378, NS F = 0.335, and NS F = 1.963 for 80, 60, and 40% of WHC, respectively.
