(A) Scanning electron microphotographs showing root colonization by selected strains of Bacillus spp. at 30 days of sowing. (B) Effects of seed bio-inoculation on root growth and development in the maize grown in saline sodic soil at 30 days of sowing. Treatments were as follows: T1—B. safensis MF-01, T2—B. altitudinis MF-15, T3—B. velezensis MF-08, T4—B. safensis MF-01 + B. velezensis MF-08 + B. altitudinis MF-15, and T5—control.
