Four different treatments were assayed, namely: a bacterial
suspension of B. subtilis HK-CSM-1 (1 10
7
cfu/mL); tryptic soy
broth (TSB) as a control; the fungicide iminoctadine tris(albesilate)
(ITA; a.i. 400 ppm), and water as another control. Treatments were
conducted after the pathogen inoculation spray had dried on the
seedlings.
Five replicates were performed for the container experiment;
the containers were arranged in a randomized block design. All
results were analyzed using Duncan’s multiple range test.
