Table 2.

Survival, shoot length and crown and root rot recorded for maize seedlings inoculated with Phaeocytostroma ambiguum and Stenocarpella maydis under glasshouse conditions.

Fungus	Survival (%) x	Shoot length (mm) x	Crown rot (%) x y	Root rot severity x z
Control	100.0a	489.7a	0.00c	0.00c
P. ambiguum	97.6a	446.0b	45.1b	1.40b
S. maydis	74.8b	367.7c	67.2a	2.59a

^xMeans within a column followed by the same letter do not differ significantly (P = 0.05)

^yPercentage plants with crown rot

^zRoot rot severity rated on a scale of 0–4 with 0 = no root rot, 1 = > 0–25 % root rot, 2 = >25–50 % root rot, 3 = > 50–75 % and 4 >75–100 % root rot.
