Data are means ± standard error of replicates and those in a column followed by different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05, based on Duncan’s new multiple range test using multi-way ANOVA (n = 18). The disease incidences (%) and lesion diameters (mm) were determined at 5 days after inoculation with the plant pathogen. Control represents the peach fruits inoculation with Botrytis cinerea but not with Bacillus subtilis JK-14. FLBC represents the fermentation liquid with bacterial cells; BCS represents the bacterial cells suspension. CFU represents colony forming unit.
