Fresh and dry root weights for “Essoumtem” and “Clemson spineless” under four inoculations in field experimentation.

Type of inoculation	Fresh root weight (g)		% Reduction		Dry root weight (g)		% Reduction

F7 = fungus inoculated 7 days after seedling emergence, F14 = fungus inoculated 14 days after seedling emergence, F21 = fungus inoculated 21 days after seedling emergence, and C = control (uninoculated); V1 = Essoumtem and V2 = Clemson spineless. Followed by the same letter in a column are not significantly different at LSD ().
