Effects of different treatments on growth of potato plants in green house. Control= uninoculated; T1 = B. subtilis PM32 inoculation; T2 = B. subtilis PM32 and R. solani inoculation; T3 = R. solani inoculation; T4 = R. solani + Fungicide (KOCIDE 3000). The treatments exhibit dissimilar letters within rows represent significance at P ≤ 0.05 level
