  1. Total contents refer to a total amount (mg) of individual nutrients in 40 plants
  2. Data were means where (*) and (**) indicate significant differences in concentration or total content between plants uninoculated and inoculated with Om19 at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 levels, respectively, based on Tukey’s HSD test (n = 3)
