Table 2.

Correlation (r) of least-square means of conventional destructive phenotyping traits measured under control conditions (n = 22).

Plant trait	Initial vigor	Plant height before treatment (cm)	Plant height after treatment (cm)	Shoot biomass (g.plant-1)
Initial vigor by visual scoring (1–5)	-	0.61∗∗	0.57∗∗	0.58∗∗
Plant height before treatment (cm)	0.61∗∗	-	0.94∗∗∗	0.61∗∗
Plant height after treatment (cm)	0.57∗∗	0.94∗∗∗	-	0.56∗∗
Shoot biomass (g.plant-1)	0.58∗∗	0.61∗∗	0.56∗∗	-

Pearson’s correlation coefficients are indicated with their statistical significance as follows: ^∗∗P ≤ 0.01; ^∗∗∗P ≤ 0.001.
