Effect of bacterial treatment on (a) total phenol, (b) polyphenol oxidase, (c) phenylalanine ammonia lyase, and (d) peroxidase of maize plants challenged with R. solani f. sp. sasakii in pot trial A. (+CONA= seeds treated with chemical fungicide +F(pathogen), AB.CON = seeds are shown without pathogen and biocontrol agents i.e. healthy plant, –CONB = sown with non-bacterized seeds + F, AS19A1=soil application of AS19+F, AS19A2= seed application of AS19+F, AS19A3= seed+ soil application of AS19+F, AS21A1= soil application of AS21+F, AS21A2= seed application of AS21+F, AS21A3= seed+ soil application of AS21+F).The data are represented as mean of three replicates and mean values with different letters on the bar are statistically significant from each other at p<0.05.
