Table 1 Effect of axenic (T and B) and co-culture (TB1 and TB2) of T. asperellum and B. amyloliquefaciens on the plant growth and biological control of F. graminearum under green-house conditions

From: Simultaneous and sequential based co-fermentations of Trichoderma asperellum GDFS1009 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1841: a strategy to enhance the gene expression and metabolites to improve the bio-control and plant growth promoting activity

  1. Results are means of 5 replicates for each treatment; the value is the standard error of the mean
  2. NA represents not applicable
  3. Different superscripts in the same column are significantly different (P < 0.05) based on the ANOVA.
