Each pot contained 4 kg of soil.
Each pot contained the same concentration and type of nutrients.
Each pot contained the equivalent of 2.5 kg or 5 kg DW of the experimental substrate (Table 2).
Each pot contained 8 kg dried and sieved (2 mm) soil collected from the University research area.
Each pot contained two plants in the beginning while after proper germination, thinning was done to select one uniform germinated plant/pot.
We set up an experiment with the presence/absence of a non-AMF microbial community, where each pot contained a rotated and a non-rotated soil core.
Each pot contained 5000 cm3 steam-sterilized soil (mixtures of 95% clay loam, 5% organic matter), and 20 rice seeds were sowed.
At this stage each pot, containing a single plant, received 150 mL of Hoagland and Arnon's (1938) normal-strength nutrient solution, with or without added NaCl.
Each pot contained 1 kg disinfected dry vermiculite which was then watered to 70% of maximum field moisture capacity with Hoagland nutrient solution, with only one seedling cultivated in each pot.
Briefly, after the feeding period and the transfer of insects, each pot contained 20 treated adults of S. granarius and 10 g of healthy rice grain and covered with a piece of cheese cloth as described before.
