Figure 1.

Effects of EAEO compared to fenamiphos and water control on rate of nematode infection of banana-root segments: residual nematodes in roots (A), nematodes egressing from roots (B)Values are the average of three replicates (mean ± standard deviation) and using Tukey’s HSD test to compare means; Bars with various letters (a, b, c, d, e, and f) are significantly different (p < 0.05)
