Figure 4.

Wheat seedlings inoculated with Bacillus strains FZB42, NMCN1 and LLCG23 were grown for 7 days at 25 °C under different NaCl concentrations (0 mmol–200 mmol). (A) The visual representation showing the effect of selected strains on wheat growth promotion under different saline conditions. (B) The calculation of seedlings’ length and percent germination is represented in graph as vigour index for wheat seeds treated with different Bacillus strains as compared with control (seeds without bacteria). The bars on the column represent mean standard deviation (n = 3). The small letters on the bars indicate significant difference among the treatments calculated through Tukey’s HSD test at p ≤ 0.05 and the experiment was repeated thrice with three replicates for each treatment.
