Data in rows with same lowercase letter are not significantly different from each other at the 95% confidence level (p<0.05).
One parameter was changed at a time keeping other parameters (optimum value) constant.
Data are means of three observations ± SD.
Anilofos used during experiments: 10 mg L−1.
