Seed treatment with Integral significantly improved
root and shoot lengths of 30-day-old seedlings compared
to the control in nursery (Fig. 3). Root lengths were
the highest at concentrations of 2.2×109 and 2.2×108
cfu/mL (14.0 and 9.3 cm, respectively) with no
significant differences between them. Shoot lengths
were the highest at 2.2×109 cfu/mL (44.9 cm)
compared to 2.2×108 cfu/mL (37.0 cm). Carbendazim
seed treatment significantly improved root length (9.6
cm) over the control (8.4 cm). The shoot length was
about 36.0 cm in the control.
