Table 4.

Quantified analysis of disease severity caused by D. pinodes upon different treatments.

Treatments	Seed infection level	Area of lesions
MeI	0.70 ± 0.05 c	1.05 ± 0.03 c
MeMI	0.40 ± 0.05 b	0.88 ± 0.03 ab
PrI	0.37 ± 0.05 ab	1.02 ± 0.03 bc
PrMI	0.16 ± 0.05 a	0.86 ± 0.03 a

Me, cv. Messire; Pr, cv. Protecta; M, mycorrhizal; NM, non-mycorrhizal; I, infected (diseased); U, uninfected (healthy). Values represent the means ± standard error from monitored seeds and area of lesions (leaves and stems) of 12 plants per treatment. Different letters per column indicate significant (Tukey HSD test, p < 0.05) differences among treatments.
