Mean disease severity based on 1-4 rating scale for detached leaf test [7,27] where 1 = highly resistant, no infection or very small flecks (1-25% necrosis); 2 = resistant, necrotic flecks with few small lesions (26-50% necrosis), and very poor sporulation; 3 = moderately resistant, medium coalesced lesions (51-75% necrosis) with intermediate sporulation; and 4 = susceptible, large coalesced lesions (76-100% necrosis) with abundant sporulation.
Means of leaf disease severity of the same letters are not statistically different (P<0.05). |
