  1. Standard tests were performed to evaluate the isolates for different PGP traits and regular observations as per the assay protocols, with the most significant effects bolded. The values given are average measurements from three replications of each assay across three independent trials. A plus sign (+) indicates a positive test response, while a minus sign (−) denotes a negative response.
