Impact of direct versus indirect interactions between Metarhizium brunneum and native microbial community on population growth of two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae) on tomato plants. Each box in the plot corresponds to a specific treatment in the split-root setup, i.e., control with 0.01% Triton X-100 (C), only-native microbial community (NMC), only-M. brunneum bio-inoculum (Mb), native microbial community and M. brunneum in different pots (NMC-Mb) and native microbial community and M. brunneum in the same pot (NMC + Mb). Boxes not sharing a common letter are significantly different from each other (Tukey post-hoc test, α = 0.05 following generalized mixed model). The median value for each treatment is represented by a thick horizontal line within its respective box
