	Disease index (DI)

Treatments	Tubers	Leaflets
CS only	0.00.00^a	0.00.00^a
Disease Prevention (DP)	9.60.45^b	7.20.37^b
Simultaneous inoculation (SI)	17.10.88^c	14.40.70^c
Disease Therapy (DT)	38.41.90^d	32.71.69^d
Control	72.23.66^e	70.93.51^e

CS only, only using CS without infection; Control: LB liquid medium. Different letters a–e in the same column indicate a significant difference in DI between infection/treatment condition (P < 0.05). Data are expressed as the average of three replicates (total 36 tubers/leaflets per treatment) ± standard deviation.
