Isolates in bold font are parents of the resistant isolates listed under them in regular font. Isolates starting with the letter F, D, and I, are flumorph-resistant mutants, dimethomorph-resistant mutants, and iprovalicarb-resistant mutants, respectively.
For each parent and its resistant progeny, means followed by same letters are not significantly different according to Fisher’s least significance difference (α = 0.05).
CFI (compound fitness index) = mycelial growth × zoospore production × lesion area on cucumber leaves.
