Roots were surfaces sterilized and an imprint of each root was prepared to test for efficiency of the treatment. The days after which the roots were surveyed is given as days post sterilization (dps). Procedure 1, 2 and 3 indicate the type of surface sterilization as described in the Material and Method section. The number of imprints and roots with fungal growth and the total number of analyzed roots is given for each sample type.
