Table 4.
Seed yield measured as dry weight per 100 seed of soybean, kidney bean, chickpea, lentil, and pea under control (cont.) and after enrichment with biologically active actinomycete isolates. Values are the average of three individual replicates (means ± S.D). Different letters represent significant differences between the treatments in each crop (Duncan test; p < 0.05; n = 4).
