FIGURE 2.

Number of eggs (× 10³) (white column) and egg masses (spotted column) produced by the avirulent M. incognita population Agròpolis (-RKN) in the responder part of the root of the susceptible tomato cv. Durinta in a split-root system experiment conducted in two adjacent 200-ml pots (inducer–responder) in which the inducer part of the root was non-inoculated (None-) or inoculated with 10⁵ cfu of T. harzianum T22 (T22-) or T. asperellum T34 (T34-) just before transplanting and the responder part of the root was non-inoculated (-None) or inoculated at a rate of 1 J2 cm^–3 of soil of the avirulent M. incognita population Agròpolis 1 week after fungal inoculation. Each value is mean of 10 replications and the standard error (bar). Column for each variable with asterisk differ (P < 0.05) from the treatment None-RKN according to the Dunnett’s test.
