1Area under disease progress curves for lesion sizes of chocolate spot in the detached leaf test.
2Linear lesion size expansion rates were estimated as the slope of the following function: Lesion diameter = a + Lesion growth rate x time (based on untransformed data). ** The presence of highly significant difference at P<0.05 probability level.
Means of lesion size and AUDPC in the same column with the same letters are not statistically different (P<0.05). The values in the table are based on untransformed data of lesion expansion from two runs of experiments.
