The disease incidence of spots inoculated with mycelial disks of the pathogen

Treatment	Avg DI ± SDa at:
	8 day	10 day	12 day	14 day
9001-108	0.0 ± 0.0	0.0 ± 0.0*	2.2 ± 3.8*	11.1 ± 10.2*
Control	24.4 ± 19.2	57.8 ± 30.1	84.4 ± 26.9	100.0 ± 0.0

^aThe disease incidence (DI) was determined 8 – 14 days after inoculation of the pathogen after being soaked in the bacterial suspensions of strain 9001 at the concentration of 10⁸ cfu/mL (9001-10⁸) or water (control). Values are representative of two experiments, and three replicates were used for each experiment. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences in DI between the control and treatment with bacterial suspensions of strain 9001 (P < 0.05, Student’s t test).
