Mean (+ SE) number of ascarid eggs recovered from soil on days 0 and 35 post-incubation at 22 °C. Approximately 8000 unembryonated eggs were added to soil given four different treatments (n = 5) (Abbreviations: SC, sterilised control; SF, sterilised with the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia Biotype 10; NC, non-sterilised control; NF, non-sterilised with fungus). Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05, Tukey-Kramer’s adjustment for multiple comparisons)
