Effects of P. membranaefaciens and HWT on natural infection of intact fruits.
Treatments consisted of (control) sterile distilled water; (H) HWT at 53 C for 2 min;
(P) P. membranaefaciens (1 108 cells mL1); (H þ P) combination of HWT at 53 C for
2 min with P. membranaefaciens (1 108 cells mL1); (HD) 50% of the full suggested
dose of fungicide; (FD) full suggested dose of fungicide. Each column represents the
means of the three replicates. Bars indicate the standard errors. Values followed by
different letters are significantly different according to Duncan's multiple range test at
P < 0.05.
