Table 1. Effect of different inoculations on plant traits and soil properties.
| Treatments | Plant traits | Soil properties | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total carbon (%) | Total nitrogen (%) | Total phosphorus (g·kg−1) | Total carbon (%) | Total nitrogen (%) | Total phosphorus (g·kg−1) | Available phosphorus (g·kg−1) | |
| CK | 42.64 ± 0.33a | 2.10 ± 0.16a | 0.06 ± 0.02b | 3.43 ± 0.12a | 0.21 ± 0.02ab | 0.43 ± 0.14a | 2.26 ± 0.18a |

| Am + Bm | 42.64 ± 0.64a | 1.89 ± 0.22a | 0.03 ± 0.003a | 3.46 ± 0.04a | 0.21 ± 0.01ab | 0.47 ± 0.01a | 2.85 ± 0.46a |
Note:
Different letters represent significant differences at P = 0.05 in using one-way ANOVA. Data (average ± SE, n = 6) in the same column with different letters indicates significant differences according to LSD test (P < 0.05). CK, no inoculation; (Am), only AM fungi inoculation; Bm, only bacillus inoculation; Am + Bm, both symbionts.
