Statistical measures and parameter values of the fitted model describing the survival of different Escherichia coli strains in different soils and cocopeat under controlled condition according to the Double Weibull model.

S1—Wetland soil; S2—Red lateritic soil; S3—Black cotton soil; S4—Tropical latosol; S5—Cocopeat. Values are means ± standard error of three replicates and values followed by the same letter in each column are not significantly different from each other as determined by DMRT (p ≤ 0.05). RMSE, root mean sum of squared error; AdjR2, adjusted R2; t4D, time (days) to attain a 4 log reduction; N0, initial cell count (log CFU g-1); α, parameter that relates the fraction of the first subpopulation to the second subpopulation; δ1, time (days) for first decimal reduction of subpopulation 1; δ2, time (days) for first decimal reduction of subpopulation 2; p, shape parameter.Statistical measures and parameter values of the fitted model describing the survival of different Escherichia coli strains in different soils and cocopeat under controlled condition according to the Double Weibull model.
