|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | E+ | E– | E+ | E– |
| Tiller number | 58·7 ± 14·4 | 75·0 ± 15·3 | 44·5 ± 9·5 | 44·7 ± 9·8 |
| Plant Md (g) | 6·0 ± 1·4 | 7·6 ± 1·5 | 6·6 ± 0·45 | 6·4 ± 1·8 |

Data shown are the means of three replicates ± s.e. A significant difference in tiller Md was detected between Nui D and Nui UIV (P < 0·01); no other significant differences were detected at α = 0·05.
