Data presented here are mean ± standard deviation.
Means were compared with Tukey HSD (p ≤ 0.01, 0.05).
The data are the means of 10 plants per treatment with three replications. Low case letters showed comparisons among the 5 bacterial treatments and capital letters showed comparisons among bacterial formulations (FLBC and FL).
