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.
