A two-way ANOVA was used to test the effect of mycorrhiza, watering and their interaction but only presented for parameters with significant effect (the whole effect was presented as an electronic supplementary table). Except for gas exchange, all traits were measured and/or calculated after the harvest

* Significant after Bonferroni correction
