Conidial germination rate of Ptr M4 and DW5. Viability of harvested spores was followed every 15 min under the microscope by counting the spores that formed a protruding germination tube. Within 30 min, M4 reached 44.9% germination rate whilst for DW5 this took 75 min. All M4 spores germinated within 1.5 h of harvesting whereas 100% germination rate of DW5 was achieved within 2 h
