Effect of the selected strains (P. polymyxa Sb3-1, S. plymuthica HRO-C48 applied via bio-priming and S. plymuthica HRO-C48 applied via coating) on the germination rate and on the severity of Verticillium wilt infection of plants grown under field conditions. Oilseed rape cultivars Avatar and Sherpa were grown in Kärrarp (a, c) and Lockarp (b, d) locations in Sweden. Figure a, b shows the germination rate defined as “number of plants per square meter”, while Figure c, d illustrates disease rates defined as ratios of infested plants in relation to the total number of plants (%). Values designated with the same letters were not significantly different (p < 0.05) according to a Tukey-HSD t test
