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

<p>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 <i>Glomus aggregatum</i>, and provided one of four water treatments.</p><table><tbody><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th><b>Growth parameters</b></th><th></th></tr></tbody><tbody><tr><th></th><td></td><td>Shoot biomass</td><td>Root biomass</td><td>Leaf width</td><td>SPAD chlorophyll</td></tr><tr><th><b>Source</b></th><td><i>df</i></td><td>(g/plant)</td><td>(g/plant)</td><td>(cm)</td><td>reading</td></tr><tr><th>Water (W)*</th><td>3</td><td>&lt;0.01 (12.52)</td><td>&lt;0.01 (11.73)</td><td>&lt;0.01 (10.19)</td><td>0.62 (3.77)</td></tr><tr><th>Inoculation (I)</th><td>1</td><td>&lt;0.001 (406.63)</td><td>&lt;0.001 (272.41)</td><td>&lt;0.001 (195.20)</td><td>&lt;0.001 (234.03)</td></tr><tr><th>W &times; I</th><td>3</td><td>&lt;0.01 (6.06)</td><td>&lt;0.05 (4.09)</td><td>0.44 (0.97)</td><td>&lt;0.01 (1.68)</td></tr></tbody></table><p>*Water treatment (W) was tested against main-plot error while both inoculation (I) and interaction (W &times; I)</p><p>were tested against the sub-plot error.</p>
