The have a control where they add no fungus. Their results are shown below (means are graphed; error bars show standard error). Statistical analysis indicates that Treatment B is significantly different from the control and other treatments, treatment A is significantly different from the control and other treatments, and treatments C, D and the control are not statistically different from each other. Fungus [a] appears to be a pathogen. Fungus [b] appears to be a mycorrhizal fungus.
