Note: Values with superscript letters ^a, ^b and ^ab are significantly different across lines (p < 0.05). First, all the averages were arranged in descending order, and then the largest marked with the letter ^a. This average was compared with the other two sets of averages and marked with the letter ^a if the difference was not significant, and significant differences were marked with the letter ^b. The mean labeled ^b was taken as the standard and compared to the mean of the other group, without any letters if the difference was not significant, or with ab if it was in the same line as ^b.
