Table 2.
Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showing the effect of particular factors (light and NO3 −) on final and rate of germination. Data were transformed (arcsine) to achieve normality.
| Dependent variable | Factor | df | MS | F value | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germination (%) | Light | 1 | 0.41 | 48.0 | <0.001 |
| NO3 − | 4 | 0.89 | 103.8 | <0.001 | |
| Light × NO3 − | 4 | 0.51 | 60.1 | <0.001 | |
