(A) The pot experiments of Vigna radiata (green gram) treated with a consortium of strains KhEc 44, KhEc 50, KhEc 68 and KhEc 69. The grouping of KhEc 44 + KhEc 50 (F), KhEc 44 + KhEc 68 (G), KhEc 44 + KhEc 69 (H), KhEc 50 + KhEc 68 (I), KhEc 50 + KhEc 69 (J), KhEc 68 + KhEc 69 (K), KhEc 44 + KhEc 50 + KhEc 68 (L), KhEc 44 + KhEc 50 + KhEc 69 (M), KhEc 50 + KhEc 68 + KhEc 69 (N), KhEc 44 + KhEc 68 + KhEc 69 (O) and KhEc 44 + KhEc 50 + KhEc 68 + KhEc 69 (P) and PCA plot of these consortia (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, and P). (B) pot experiments of Vigna radiata (green gram) in the presence of a consortium of strains KhEc 44, KhEc 50, KhEc 68 and KhEc 69 Values are mean ± standard deviation (n = 30). A two-way ANOVA was performed to determine the effect of bacterial treatment on plant growth parameters and as * significant at the level P < 0.0332; ** significant at the level P < 0.0021; *** significant at the level P < 0.0002, **** significant at the level P < 0.0001 respectively.
