Fig. 5. Effects of cell-free filtrates of SCG strain on the number of nematode populations (A) and egg masses (B) per plant in the pot experiment (n = 5). (C) Root symptoms of S. lycopersicum.
The number of egg masses was determined using phloxine B staining. The red arrows indicate egg masses formed by M. incognita infection. The experiment was performed in triplicate under the same conditions. Different letters above the error bars indicate significant differences according to Scheffé's test (p < 0.05).
