Differences in total shoot length (Fig. 1) between
the two treatments became apparent after 30 week
of plant growth. After 36 weeks, growth stopped in
both the groups and the difference between them remained
stable but statistically significant (P = 0.04).
After the transplant, the inoculated plants accelerated
Increases in total shoot length during the course of the experiment. Vertical bars are the standard errors of the mean. Asterisks
indicate the period of time after which differences between treatments turned significant. (*): P ≤ 0.10, (**): P ≤ 0.05 and (***): P ≤ 0.01.
