Values with different superscript letters show a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) in mean value of replicates (N=5) of each treatment as determined by LSD test. ± value indicates the standard error mean of replicates (N=5).

+ve control: with inoculation of A. solani (AS) only; -ve control: without inoculation of A. solani (AS) and applied organic solvent only.
