Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551, an Indigenous Greek Isolate Studied as a Potential Biocontrol Agent against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici

Table 3

Mean height and weight data of tomato plants derived from emerged tomato seeds during in vivo antagonism bioassays. The total number of planted tomato seeds was (24 per pot) × (three replicates for each pot) × (four independent experiments) = 288. All experimental data were combined for the analysis.

	Soil infected with Fusarium oxysporum		Soil not infected with Fusarium oxysporum
	Mean height (cm)^1	Mean weight (g)^2	Mean height (cm)^1	Mean weight (g)^2
Seeds treated with ACTA1551	13.42±0.1	0.58±0.01	19±0.2	0.79±0.01
Untreated tomato seeds	11.16±0.1	0.35±0.01	15.01±0.1	0.51±0.01

1Unpaired 𝑡-test on plant heights: seeds treated with ACTA1551 in infected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in infected soil were significantly different (𝑃<0.001); seeds treated with ACTA1551 in noninfected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in noninfected soil were significantly different (𝑃<0.001).
2Unpaired 𝑡-test on plant weights: seeds treated with ACTA1551 in infected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in infected soil significantly different (𝑃<0.001); seeds treated with ACTA1551 in noninfected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in noninfected soil were significantly different (𝑃<0.001).
