T0 (control: no mulch, no drought, no soil microbes), T1 (drought stress at the booting stage (DB)), T2 (DB + A. brasilense), T3 (DB + wheat straw mulch), T4 (DB + rice husk mulch), T5 (DB + plastic mulch), T6 (DB + A. brasilense + wheat straw mulch), T7 (DB + A. brasilense + rice husk mulch), and T8 (DB + A. brasilense + plastic mulch). Bars marked with different letters indicate significant differences between treatments at p < 0.05.
