  1. Vogel’s minimal media (VMM) with phosphate (Pi) and without phosphorus (P) source (No P), and potato dextrose agar (PDA) used as control treatments. Conidia and mycelium plugs were used as inoculum. The values are indicated as the mean value ± SE (n = 3)
  2. Colony area included the spot where the inoculum was placed
  3. ** Significant at p < 0.01, *** significant at p < 0.001, ***** significant at p < 0.00001; ANOVA-Tukey HSD
