Effect of Actinomycetes isolates on eco-physiological parameters of tomatoes (artificially infected with S. sclerotiorum).
| Actinomycetes Isolates | Eco-Physiological Parameters | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TW (n) | SL (cm) | LN (n) | SFW (g) | SDW (g) | |
| Cont. -ve | 5 ± 0.2 b | 42.32 ± 0.3 a | 161 ± 1.0 bc | 142.33 ± 1.0 c | 24.04 ± 0.2 ab |
| AC1: Streptomyces sp. | 8 ± 0.1 a | 54.31 ± 0.4 a | 333 ± 2.3 a | 240.12 ± 2.5 a | 30.67 ± 0.3 a |
| RS3: Streptomyces atratus | 5 ± 0.1 b | 44.34 ± 0.8 a | 210 ± 1.8 b | 214.67 ± 1.9 ab | 23.00 ± 1.0 ab |
| OL2: Arthrobacter humicola | 8 ± 0.1 a | 51.76 ± 0.2 a | 477 ± 3.7 a | 304.65 ± 0.8 a | 29.67 ± 0.6 a |
Note: TN: twig number; SL: shoot length; LN: leaf number: SFW and SDW: fresh and dry weight of shoot systems, respectively. Values followed by different letters in each vertical column for each measured parameter were significantly different according to Tukey’s B multiple comparison test post hoc test at p < 0.05.
