Table 2.

Occurrence of vegetative growth (P_vg) and branching density with presence (D_br A+ ) or absence (D_br A− ) of apical dominance for apical and lateral growth units of different growth levels for four mango cultivars in 2005, assessed using generalized linear models

For each growth level and cultivar, different letters indicate significantly different values (P < 0·05); differences are not significant otherwise. Sample size always >5. Values within parenthesis are estimated from the data but were not tested for the effect of growth unit position (very unbalanced samples). For clarity, 95 % confidence intervals are not shown: their ranges vary between 0·002–0·040 for P_vg; 0·022–0·160 for D_br A+ ; and 0·029–0·158 for D_br A− .
