Table 2.

Effects of soaking of three legume seeds (A, B, C) at different treatments (control, pathogen, biocontrol agent and mixture of the pathogen and the biocontrol agent) for 10 hr on seed germination, % of root discoloration, length of seedlings, and fresh and dry weights of seedlings

A = Vicia faba, B = Vigna unguiculata, C = Lupinus termis. The root rot disease index was a 0~4 scale where: 0 = no disease symptoms, 1 = 1~25% of seedlings, 2 = 26~50%, 3 = 51~75%, and 4 = 76~100%.

LSD: least significant difference.

^aSignificant difference compared with the pathogen.

^bSignificant difference compared with the control.
