a
The test fungi were prepared in a lawn on M1 agar or ISP2 agar and GA40 was inoculated in the center. After 48 h at 30 °C inhibition zones were measured in mm and reported as an average of N=3 ± standard deviation.
b
Fungal growth was not completely suppressed in the fungal clearance zone
c
Inhibition was measured at 96 hr because there was insufficient fungal growth at 48 h.
d
NT= not tested
