aMeans within a column followed by different letters are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 LSD = 10.462 for BCA x pathogen interaction. bBCA means within a column followed by different letters are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 LSD = 6.604 for BCA means. cPathogen means within a row followed by different letters are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 LSD = 3.308 for pathogen means.
