Values indicate mean ± SE (n = 3). Different superscript letters in the columns represent significant differences among fertilizer treatments according to one-way ANOVA (Duncan’s test, p < 0.05). The abbreviations T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 are as defined in the footnote to Table 1. B: seedling stage; M: bud stage; H: flowering stage; T: boll opening stage.
