Protective and curative effects of GYUN-300 on disease suppression of red pepper anthracnose in non-wounded fruits. (A) For protective effects, bacterial suspensions (10⁷ CFU/mL) were sprayed on the detached green pepper fruits without wounding, followed by inoculation with Colletotrichum acutatum conidia suspensions (10⁵ conidia/ml) on the same day. Disease severity (%) was recorded 14 days after incubation at 25^°C. (B) For curative effects, symptoms were observed 14 days after pathogen inoculation with C. acutatum conidia suspensions (10⁵ conidia/mL) on detached green pepper fruits without wounding, followed by treatment with bacterial suspensions (10⁷ CFU/mL) using a spray method. Disease severity (%) was recorded 10 days after incubation at 25^°C. The experiment was carried out two times with six replicates (fruits) per treatment, showing similar results. Bars with the same letters do not differ significantly between each other according to the least significant difference (LSD; p < 0.05).
