Inhibition coefficient of R. solani by strain PM32

Bacterial strain	Bacillus subtilis PM32
Expansion of fungal strain (mm day−1); [A]c	0.29 ± 0.16
Growth rate A as a percentage of control; [B]	54.29 ± 2.88
Expansion of fungal strain as a percentage of the gap in the middle points of inoculation; [C]c	63.50 ± 0.00
Duration prior to exposure of fungus and bacterial strain (days)	3.00 ± 0.47
Expansion of fungus in zone of mixed culture (mm day_1); [D]d	0
Growth-rate D as a percentage of control; [E]	0
Inhibition coefficient e	49.87 ± 1.29

Maximum growth rate is represented by A. Value B denotes growth rate of fungus in dual culture as a % of fungal growth in control. Value c denotes distance covered by the R. solani as a percentage of the gap between the positions of inoculation of fungus and strain PM32. Value D denotes the growth rate of R. solani in the zone of mixed culture and value E denotes percentage radial growth rate of R. solani
