Effectiveness of mycorrhizal fungus G. viscosum in protecting globe artichoke against Verticillium wilt. For each parameter, different letters (a,b,c) within the same column indicate that the means are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05 according to Duncan test. The experiments were repeated three times with three replicates. Ctrl, non-mycorrhizal plants; I, non-mycorrhizal plants inoculated with V. dahliae; M, mycorrhizal plants; MI, mycorrhizal plants inoculated with V. dahlia.
