TABLE 3.
Effect of Rhizobium treatments and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) on faba bean disease incidence, disease severity, and virus accumulation level at 21 dpi.
| Treatment | Disease incidence (%) | Disease severity (%) | ELISA values* |
| G1 | 00 ± 0.00 d | 00.00 ± 0.00 d | 0.10 ± 0.05 d |
| G2 | 100 ± 0.00 a | 91.34 ± 2.68 a | 1.85 ± 0.07 a |
| G3 | 40.00 ± 0.13 c | 15.46 ± 1.31 c | 0.35 ± 0.02 c |
| G4 | 53.33 ± 0.16 b | 21.38 ± 1.53 b | 0.49 ± 0.03 b |
*ELISA absorbance at 405 nm, positive result = double the healthy absorbance. Each column value represents the average of five biological replicates. The mean values of each column with the same letter are not significantly different.
