Notes: MO, M. oleifera supplementation; Ba, B. amyloliquefaciens supplementation; MO × Ba, interaction effect. Values are means and standard error of the mean (SEM). ns, no significant, . Different letters indicate significant differences between the two MO adding types and two Ba types, such as (a/b) in parentheses corresponds to no MO addition, MO addition, and the value of a is less than b. The other set of letters (x/y) corresponds to no Ba addition and Ba addition, and the value of x is less than the value of y. The presence of different capital letters indicates a significant difference between groups.
