Abstract

a<p>Means in a column followed by the same letter are not significantly different at <i>p</i> = 0.05 according to Fisher’s least significant difference.</p>b<p>On carrot agar.</p>c<p>Lesion area and sporulation were determined on detached pepper leaves, and disease score was determined on growing pepper plants.</p>d<p>A disease severity scale of 0–5 was used: 0, no visible symptoms; 1, leaves slightly wilted with black lesions beginning to appear on stems or 10–29% of entire plant diseased; 2, 30–49% of entire plant diseased; 3, 50–69% of entire plant diseased; 4, 70–90% of entire plant diseased; 5, dead plant <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0056513#pone.0056513-Kim1" target="_blank">[37]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0056513#pone.0056513-Hartman1" target="_blank">[38]</a>.</p
