Table 1 Summary of fungal material capacity for mass-scale inoculation for each culture medium. The table details the yield of fungal biomass, conidia densities, and the estimated number of plants that could be inoculated
Culture medium | Amount of fungal material (g L− 1 of media) | Amount of conidia (conidia L− 1) | Potential of inoculum (n° plants that can be inoculated L− 1 of medium) | |||
