Table 2 in Influence of Mycorrhizae and Irrigation on Growth and Mineral Uptake by Corn (Zea mays L.) Seedlings in a Calcareous Soil

Table 2. Analysis of variance for shoot biomass, root biomass, leaf width, and SPAD chlorophyll reading of corn seedlings. Numbers are P values with F statistics in parentheses. Plants were grown in Guam cobbly clay soil, inoculated or not inoculated with Glomus aggregatum, and provided one of four water treatments.
