a
Data were recorded based on total number of lesions/leaf. Values are the mean of 15 plants (3 replications).
b
Values in the parentheses are arcsine-transformed values.
c
In a column, means followed by a common letter are not significantly different at 5% level by DMRT.
d
Efficacy of bacterial endophytes against GBNV upon pre-inoculation.
e
Percent reduction over control of pre-inoculation studies.
f
Efficacy of bacterial endophytes against GBNV upon simultaneous inoculation.
g
Percent reduction over control of simultaneous inoculation studies.
h
“–” indicates nill, as percent over reduction is compared with untreated control.
