Fig. 1 Effects of Phytophthora capsici and Meloidogyne incognita co-inoculation as compared with P. capsici alone on Phytophthora blight severity in two bell pepper cultivars: (a) ‘Aristotle’ and (b) ‘Paladin’. Mean values presented were combined results from two experiments (experiment × treatment, P = 0.38; N = 20). Pc = P. capsici and Mi = M. incognita. Mi/Pc (b), Mi/Pc (s), and Mi/Pc (a) indicate M. incognita was inoculated before, at the same time as, and after P. capsici, respectively. Treatments within each cultivar with different letters are significantly different according to the Fisher’s protected least significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) test. Error bars are standard errors of the means of two experiments.
Fig. 2 Effects of Phytophthora capsici and Meloidogyne incognita co-inoculation as compared with M. incognita alone on gall index in three bell pepper cultivars: (a) ‘Aristotle’, (b) ‘Paladin’ and (c) ‘Intruder’. Mean values are combined results from two trials (trial × treatment, P = 0.53; N = 20). Pc = P. capsici and Mi = M. incognita. Mi/Pc (b), Mi/Pc (s) and Mi/Pc (a) indicate M. incognita was inoculated before, at the same time as, and after P. capsici, respectively. Treatments within each cultivar with different letters are significantly different according to Fisher’s protected least significant difference test (P ≤ 0.05). Error bars are standard errors of the means of two experiments.
Fig. 3 Effects of Phytophthora capsici and Meloidogyne incognita co-inoculation on fresh root weight of three bell pepper cultivars: (a) ‘Aristotle’, (b) ‘Paladin’ and (c) ‘Intruder’. Mean values are combined results from two trial (trial × treatment, P = 0.93; N = 20). Pc = P. capsici, Mi = M. incognita and UTC = untreated control. Mi/Pc (b), Mi/Pc (s), and Mi/Pc (a) indicate M. incognita was inoculated before, at the same time as, and after P. capsici, respectively. Treatments within each cultivar with different letters are significantly different according to Fisher’s protected least significant difference test (P ≤ 0.05). Error bars are standard errors of the means of two experiments.
