Impact of compost amendment on disease incidence and plant growth parameters in FORC inoculated treatments. Root fresh weight (A) and shoot dry weight (B) of compost-amended and non-amended cucumber plants with and without pathogen inoculation. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences obtained by multiple comparison of all pairs of means (Tukey HSD test, P < 0.05). Disease incidence (C) and photographs (D) of compost amended and non-amended FORC-inoculated cucumber plants. Disease incidence was determined by calculating the percentage of wilted plants in each soil amendment at 21 days post inoculation. N = 6 and 5 for FORC-inoculated and non-inoculated respectively
