Each location is represented by three crop types. Three different species were identified and isolates for each are presented and summed. The numbers represent isolates obtained both by insect baiting using Tenebrio molitor larvae and by plating of root homogenate on selective agar media (numbers in brackets represent the isolates obtained on selective media)
