1 100% growth of A. alternata corresponded to 2.4 + 0.1 cm diameter in the absence of T. harzianum. |
2 100% growth of T. harzianum corresponded to 8.8 + 0.1 cm diameter in the absence of A. alternata. |
3 Includes results with ActivolR and with Hoechst liquid Gibberelic acid, GA3. |
4 Includes results with BayerR 2T 005 SL and with NAA-800. |
