F = fungus alone; N = nematode alone; NF = nematode and fungus simultaneously; NF7 = fungus 7 days after nematode inoculation; NF14 = fungus 14 days after nematode inoculation; NF21 = fungus 21 days after nematode inoculation, and C = control (uninoculated). V1 = Essoumtem, V2 = Clemson spineless. Followed by the same letter in a column are not significantly different at LSD ().
