In furrow irrigation, Xap population size (log cfu/cm2 leaf) increased up to just 10 days after the third trifoliate leaf unfolded (V4) following an initial inoculation at the second trifoliate stage while for overhead sprinkler irrigation, the population size increased up to 40 days. Means with different letters are significantly different. The experiments were conducted in two different fields in the same research farm using a randomized complete block design with eight replicates in Arak, Iran in 2005.
