Fig 4. Germination rate of conidia at different times.
The control group had already germinated after 2 hours, while the treatment group had not yet germinated. At 4 hours, the treatment group began to germinate, but the rate of germinated conidia was only 27%. After 8 hours, the germination rate of the treatment group was almost always stable at 83%, while the germination rate of the control group was 97%.
