  1. AN Ammonium nitrate, FYM Farmyard Manure, DPPH 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical, ABTS 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid, SOD Superoxide radical scavenging activity, TEAC Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, FRAP Ferric reducing antioxidant power
  2. Values were the means of three replicates. Values with different letters in the same column were significantly (p < 0.05) different
  3. EC50 value: The effective concentration at which the antioxidant activity was 50%; DPPH, ABTS and SOD were scavenged by 50%; Expressed as mM ferrous ions eqivalents. Determined at 10 mg ml−1
