Inhibition tested according to Guo et al. [13] for A. alternata, P. chrysogenum, P. variotii, and C. herbarum.
Inhibition tested according to Magnusson et al. [14] for M. recurves, A. flavus, and F. oxysporum.
Inhibition was scored by measuring the size of the halo around the bacterial streaks according to the following semiquantitative scale: (+++) inhibition zone ≥ 8 mm; (++) inhibition zone 5-7 mm; (+) inhibition zone 3-4 mm; (-) inhibition zone < 3 mm.
