Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for root pathogen and disease parameters following delayed inoculation (PT 1–3).

DAE is the number of days after plant emergence inoculum was applied to the potting soil.AUDPCi is a modified measure such that all treatments were assessed for the same period after initial inoculation treatment. The data was truncated back to ensure the same number of data points (three) was analysed for each curve.Different superscripts denote significant differences (p Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for root pathogen and disease parameters following delayed inoculation (PT 1–3).
