Table 2. Differing levels of various nutrients between Las-infected and non-infected Citrus sinensis plants.
Plant status | N | P | K | Mg | Ca | S | B | Zn | Mn | Fe | Si | Na | Mo | Al |
Uninfected plant | 3.13 | 0.17 | 3.00 | 0.43 | 1.88 | 0.25 | 46.67 | 29.33 | 39.00 | 86.33 | 0.15 | 0.08 | 0.02 | 35.34 |
Las-infected plant | 2.32 | 0.11 | 4.05 | 0.29 | 1.75 | 0.24 | 76.00 | 19.67 | 35.33 | 66.67 | 0.16 | 0.11 | 0.01 | 16.98 |
t value | 8.03 | 3.72 | 19.10 | 8.67 | 1.67 | 0.42 | 12.35 | 45.85 | 1.21 | 16.75 | 0.43 | 1.69 | 0.42 | 2.08 |
P value | <0.01* | 0.01 | <0.01* | <0.01* | 0.15 | 0.69 | <0.01* | <0.01* | 0.28 | <0.01* | 0.68 | 0.14 | 0.69 | 0.09 |
Nutrient values in columns labeled with * are significantly different at p<0.05 (two-sample t-test). Values for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), manganese (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Sulfur (S), silicon (Si), and sodium (Na) are in % while values for boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), and aluminum (Al) are in ppm.
