Some isolates of F. proliferatum (D3074P and D3075P) and F. verticillioides (A3058P
and D3070P) caused stunting symptom (disease scale 2). The DSI values ranged from
0.2 to 0.3 after 70 days. However, the strains were considered as non-pathogenic
based on the DSI values which were not significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different from those
of the control seedlings. The DSI of treated seedlings significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased
from 5 to 40 days but not later.
