Fig. 3. Bacterial wilt severity expressed as area under disease progress curve (AUDsPC) in tomato genotypes King Kong 2 (moderately resistant) and L390 (susceptible) over
four weeks after treatment with bacterial antagonists and inoculated with R. solanacearum strain To-udk2 in (a) pot experiments (b) split-root experiments. Disease severity
was defined as the average of disease classes of all plants of treatment at an evaluation date. Means of three repeated trials ± SE. Bars with the same letters are not
significantly different according to Tukey test at a = 5%. Small letters refer to comparison between treatments for the same genotype, while capital letters refer to the
comparison between genotypes for the same treatment.

and inoculated with R. solanacearum strain To-udk2 in (a) pot experiments (b) split-root experiments Means of three repeated trials ± SE. Bars with the same letters are not
significantly different Tukey test at a = 5% probability. Small letters refer to comparison between treatments for the same genotype, while capital letters refer to the
comparison between genotypes for the same treatment.
