All data are presented as the mean ± SE. AK: available potassium content; AN: available nitrogen content, AP: available phosphorous content. Different capital letters and lowercase letters in the same line indicate very significant (p < 0.01) and significant (p < 0.05) difference between healthy and bacterial wilt infected soils, respectively.
