Table 1.: Group-Wise Average Well Colour Development (AWCDG) of Carbon Sources by Three Oomycetes (Pythium aphanidermatum, PA; Phytophthora cryptogea, PC; Phytophthora capsici, PCP) and Two Species of Fusarium (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici, FORL; Fusarium solani, FS). Overall Values Represent Mean Absorbance Per Group Divided by Number of Carbon (C) Sources Per Group During an Observation Period of 264 h
