- Note that Tulasnella calospora 266 facilitated the largest percentage of seedlings (> 5.8%) to the highest growth stage for all treatments including the three symbiotic treatments that utilized fungi isolated more recently (2016 and 2018)
- aNumber of replicate petri plates (n) for a given treatment. Unequal sample sizes resulted when contaminated plates were discarded
- bValues in parentheses reflect the percentage of seeds in a given treatment that developed to Stage 5
- cMeans denoted by the same letter were not significantly different (α = 0.05)
