  1. Data are reported as mean ± standard deviation, derived from the analysis of three replicates per sample. Letters highlight statistically significant differences among analyzed samples, based on a one-way ANOVA test (p < 0.05). Different letters within columns indicate significant differences according to Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (P ≤ 0.05) Whereas, Control- sterilized distilled water, Positive control- Topsin M@ 200ppm, YFSL- Yeast, PFSL- fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., YFSL + PFSL-combinations of yeast and fluorescent Pseudomonas.
