Prevalence was expressed as the ratio “number of farms in which a specific race was found/total farm numbers,” as a percentage.
Ib: Isolates with race-specific amplified band
Ip: Isolates using TEF grouping
Ti: Total isolates ( )
F: Numbers of farms in which a specific race F. proliferatum or TEF group was found
tF: Total farms ( )
Fp: Fusarium proliferatum.
