Establishment of pot experiments for assessing plant-growth-promoting activity of teak rhizosphere microbes. Pot experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions (A). A comparison of representative plant physiology derived from different treatments at the end of pot experiments (B–I). The treatments include teak seedlings grown in planting materials non-inoculated (control, B) and inoculated with different rhizosphere microbes, i.e., with nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolate CGC-5 (C), with actinobacterium isolate TCM1-050 (D), with isolates CGC-5 and TCM1-050 (E), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Claroideoglomus isolate PBT03 (F), with isolates CGC-5 and PBT03 (G), with isolates TCM1-050 and PBT03 (H), and with every tested microbial isolate (I). Scale bars = 7 cm.
