Values in parentheses represent total number of measurements for each treatment from which the means were calculated. A one-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) indicated significance between all inoculum treatments. The observed F-value was 187.48 and the significance probability associated with the F-statistic was <0.0001. Individual means were compared and grouped according to the Duncan Multiple Range Test with a confidence level of 95 %. Means that were not significantly different are indicated with the same letter.
