Title

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Nutrient addition did not influence infection rates, infection severity or plant biomass in tall fescue.
- Intervention effect Colletotrichum cereale facilitated R. solani, increasing its infection rate regardless of the order of inoculation.
- Intervention effect In plants without nutrient addition, simultaneous and C. cereale-first inoculations increased leaf nitrogen concentrations compared with uninoculated plants.
- Mechanism The effects of the inoculations were partially, but not completely, explained by the duration and severity of pathogen infections.
