2.10. Statistical analysis
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for the statistical analysis of
results. The Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) was used for mean
separation for significant differences among the treatments at P
< 0.05 significance levels. Presented results are the means±
standard error of three replicates in each experiment (n=3). Principal
component analysis (PCA) was also done using the XLSTAT-2016 to study
the correlation of the biomass and other parameters as well as with the
treatments.
