Statistical analysis
For both experiments, treatments were arranged in
a completely randomized design (CRD). The data were subjected to
analysis of variance (ANOVA) using MSTAT-C software and means
were separated using Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at (P<
0.05). Disease incidence data were transformed (arcsine of the
square root of the proportion of affected fruit) before analysis.
There were four replicates each containingfive Petri dishes forin
vitroexperiment. Inin vivo experiment each treatment was replicated four times with 20 fruit per replicate and the entire experiment was repeated twice and data were pooled before analysis
