values superscribed by same letter are not significantly different according to fisher’s lsd test (P<0.05).
values in the parentheses are standard errors of means.
RV=Root volume; RL=Root length; SL=Shoot length; RDW/ SDW= Root, shoot dry weight TDM=Total Dry Mass; R-S ratio=Root-shoot ratio;
LA= Leaf area
*means of two independent experiments with six replicates each time. values in the parentheses are standard errors of means. |
