^aAverage of ten plants per replicate. The results are an average of the two seasons of 2012 and 2013
^bPercentage reduction in disease severity compared to plants treated with pathogen alone
^cMeans within columns sharing a letter in common are not significantly different (P < 0.05; Duncan test). The standard error of each set is displayed
