Fig. 1. Evaluation of five most potential antagonistic actinomycetes against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC) in wilt sick pots in the greenhouse conditions. Data were expressed
in % reduction of disease incidence (DI) over FOC-inoculated control, where M1 ¼ application of the actinomycete along with FOC, 2 weeks before sowing in the pot mixture;
M2 ¼ application of the actinomycete on the seeds; M3 ¼ application of the actinomycete on the sprouted seeds; M4 ¼ application of the actinomycete on the pot mixture, at the
time of sowing; and M5 ¼ application of the actinomycete on the pot mixture after emergence of seedling. The error bars are the standard errors.
