*, ** and *** indicate statistical significance (p<0.05; p<0.01 and p<0.001) of the main effects determined by ANOVA (ns = not significant). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (p<0.05) for the fixed factor management system determined by the Tukey`s test (int = integrated treatment, org = organic treatment, biodyn = biodynamic treatment).
