Figure 7. Incidence of S. enterica Poona (SP) on cantaloupe fruits.
Fruit rinds were inoculated with S. enterica Poona alone (SP), or S. enterica + E. tracheiphila (SP+Et), and sampled at 0, 9 or 24 days post inoculation [(DPI), P values for SP vs S.P+Et at 0, 9 and 24 DPI were 1.00, 0.47, and 0.21]. Values of the same treatment do not significantly differ at p<0.05) according Fischer's Exact test- one tailed. Overall p-value for comparison of proportions among levels of DPI given treatments are <0.001 and 0.0039 for SP and SP+Et, respectively.
