Plant height and number of tillers per plant at 60 DAT were significantly enhanced in all treatments with Integral compared to the control (Table 1). Plant height was the highest (73.2 cm) with Integral at 2.2×109 cfu/mL as ST + SD + FS. Integral gave higher plant height (70.8 cm) as ST + SD + FS at 2.2×108 cfu/mL over the untreated control. Plant height with carbendazim as ST + SD + FS was 58.9 cm and was not significant over the control (58.3 cm). Number of tillers per plant was the highest at a concentration of 2.2×109 cfu/mL as ST + SD + FS (11.9) and as ST +SD (11.6) with no significant differences between them. At 2.2×108 cfu/mL, the number of tillers per plant was 9.6 with Integral as ST + SD + FS, whereas 6.3 in the control. ShB lesions were significantly reduced with all concentrations of Integral (Table 1). ShB severity was the least at a concentration of 2.2×109 cfu/mL as ST + SD + FS (9.2%), and with carbendazim (7.8%). ShB severity was up to 24.1%
