Fig. 2 Population levels, measured by dilution plating of Bacillus megaterium strain B153-2-2, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain C3, and Enterobacter cloacae strain EcCT-501 on tall fescue foliage in shaded and full-sun turf maintained at an 8-cm height in 1994 and in 1995. Data are presented for shade, sampling time, and their interaction. Vertical bars represent standard error of the mean

Fig. 4 Population levels of Bacillus megaterium strain B153-2-2, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain C3, and Enterobacter cloacae strain EcCT-501 in the top and bottom 4-cm sections of a tall fescue canopy maintained at a height of 8 cm in 1995. Data are presented for foliage part and the interaction with time. Vertical bars represent standard error of the mean

Fig. 5 Number of colonization sites of Bacillus megaterium strain B153-2-2, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain C3, and Enterobacter cloacae strain EcCT-501 detected by shoot imprinting in the top (above the leaf collar) and bottom (below leaf collar) regions of a tall fescue canopy maintained at a height of 8 cm in 1994 and in 1995. Data are presented for foliage part, time, and their interaction. Vertical bars represent standard error of the mean
