To estimate the dry weight of the plants, the plant material was placed in perforated paper bags and dried in a forced air oven at 70 °C for 72 h. At the end of the experiment, root segments were collected and incubated at room temperature 24 °C in PARPH medium . Also, root subsamples were placed in Petri dishes with sterile distilled water to verify the occurrence of coenocytic mycelia with sporangia typical of P. capsici.
Para la estimación del peso seco de planta, el material vegetal fue colocado en bolsas de papel con perforaciones y secado en una estufa de aire forzado a 70 °C, durante 72 h. Al final del experimento se colectaron segmentos de raíces y se incubaron a temperatura ambiente 24 °C en medio PARPH y en cajas de Petri con agua destilada estéril para verificar la aparición de micelio cenocítico con esporangios típicos de P. capsici.
