¹Pairwise comparison of LT₈₀ values per spraying conidia suspension concentrations: Treatments without letters in common are significant at p < 0.05. C1, C2, C3 and C4 are 1 × 10⁸ bacteria cells /mL, 1 × 10⁷ bacteria cells /mL, 1 × 10⁶ bacteria cells /mL and in 1 × 10⁵ bacteria cells /mL in 6% glucose meal, respectively. Control is exposed to blank cotton balls soaked 6% glucose meal (without any bacterial cells)
