Comparison of the efficacy of LSP (LSP-50 nm, LSP-180 nm, and LSP-600 nm), copper (Kocide 3000), and grower standard (Cu–EBDC) to manage bacterial spot disease severity (area under disease progress curve – AUDPC) on tomato variety ‘Grand Marshall’ in a field experiment in Quincy, FL.

a

Cu–EBDC is composed of Kocide 3000 (2100 μg mL−1) and Penncozeb® 75DF (1200 μg mL−1).

b

The area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated using the midpoint values of Horsfall–Barratt disease severity scale.

c

Number with different character in the same column has significant difference (p-value = 0.05) based on Least Significant Difference statistical analysis using the IBM® SPSS® program.
