- The experiment was carried out using strip design with a large plot to simulate the crop conditions
- Average values followed by different letters are distinct by Fisher’s LSD test (p < 0.05). The increase in relation to the control was calculated by 100 * (x – y)/y, where x is the average of treatment and y is the average of control. C.V. (%) is the coefficient of variation of the experiment
