Root Length of the Tomato Plants Treated with Bacillus isolates
For plants not infected with FSP but treated with Bacillus spp, the root length of plants treated with Bac C was the longest with 34 mm and was significantly different from the Bac A which had root length of 29 mm, Bac P and Bac S which had 23.25 mm and 23.5 mm respectively. Root lengths of plants treated with Bac C and Bac A were significantly different from the other treatments and from the control with root length of 21.5 mm. Plants infected with FSP and treated with Bac C also had the longest root length of 31 mm and was significantly different from the control having 16.75 mm. Bac A having root length of 29.5 mm was not significantly different from Bac C but both of them were significantly different from Bac P and Bac S having root length of 18.5 mm each (Table 2).
