**3.7 Solid peat formulation**

The mixture of 5% LP and 95% peat was also resembled dextrose results. It showed 4.0×107 /gm CFU's (**Table 5** and **Figure 8**).

### **3.8 Talc formulation**

Our results showed that the mixture of LP and talc as a carrier was void. There was no CFU's recorded even after formulation (**Table 6**).
