Effect of Pasteuria penetrans endospore density in soil in spring before a peanut crop on the percentage infected females in fall after peanut harvest. A) Correlation of endospores per J2 in soil before planting spring 2004 to percentage P. penetrans-infected females at harvest in autumn 2004 was not significant (P ≤ 0.05). B) Regression of endospore per J2 before planting a peanut crop in spring 2005 to percentage infected females after the harvest of the peanut crop in autumn 2005 (P ≤ 0.05).
