Figure 2.

Effect of Trichoderma spp.-secreted metabolites on M. maydis solid media cultures. Trichoderma species tested are listed in Figure 1. The Trichoderma cultures’ filtrate was used to prepare potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates (instead of DDW). The plate was sown with M. maydis and incubated for six days. Control is PDA medium M. maydis cultures maintained under the same conditions. (A) Values are means from five biological replicates ± standard error. Different letters (A–D) indicate significant differences (one-way ANOVA test, p < 0.05). (B) Representative Petri dishes photograph of each treatment at the experiment’s end.
