Different letters within the same row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). Attractive effects indicate that significantly more termites aggregated in/on the soil blocks treated with conidia of each Trichoderma species compared with untreated soil. N.A. indicates no significant difference in percentages of termites when compared between Trichoderma-treated and untreated soil blocks.
