Notes: Each mean is the average of five replicates; means within columns followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to LSD test (p > 0.05); the labels Experiment 4 and 6 indicate that J2 encumbered with spores from the respective in attachment experiments presented in Table 2 were used for plant inoculation.
