Numbers are mean values (±standard error of the mean, n = 3) of three Leonard jars, each containing two plants. Determinations were carried out 60 days after inoculation. For each parameter, data followed by the same lower-case letter are not significantly different at α = 5%, as determined by protected Fisher’s LSD (Least Significant Difference).
