“…10 cm 9 7 cm). The initial viable propagules-the bud cells and chlamydospores-were counted using the dilution plate technique with F. oxysporum selective medium: Fo-G1 agar (Nishimura 2007). Fo-G1 contained KH 2 PO 4 , 1 g; KCl, 0.5 g; MgSO 4 Á7H 2 O, 0.5 g; ammonium citrate dibasic, 2 g; econazole nitrate, 5 mg (dissolved in 0.5 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide); H 3 BO 3 , 0.5 g; trace element solution, 0.2 ml (citric acid, 5 g; FeSO 4 Á7H 2 O, 5 g; ZnSO 4 Á7H 2 O, 1 g; CuSO 4 Á5H 2 O, 0.5 g; MnSO 4 Á5H 2 O, 0.5 g; Na 2 Mo 4 Á2H 2 O, 0.05 g to 95 ml of distilled water); chloramphenicol, 0.25 g; and agar, 20 g/1,000 ml of distilled water.…”
