FIGURE 4.

Verticillium wilt disease severity index on eggplant treated with various bacterial isolates and the commercial biofungicide TRIANUM-P (Koppert B.V. Hellas) at 12, 14, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, and 30 days post inoculation with Verticillium dahliae conidial suspension (20 mL of 5 × 10⁶ conidia mL^–1). Each column represents the mean of 21 plants after combining the results of 3 replicated experiments (experiment II). Columns at each observation time point followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s HSD test at P ≤ 0.05. Vertical bars indicate standard errors.
