Physicochemical properties of soil samples.

Sample name	Soil texture	pH	EC (mS)	%TIC	%TOC	%N	P (mg kg-1)	K (mg kg-1)
CM	Sandy	8.0 a	1.28 b	5.27 a	3.464 a	0.056 a	5.076 a	61.876 a
DE	Loamy sand	7.8 a	7.72 a	4.13 a	2.768 a	0.020 b	3.272 b	45.639 b

EC, electrical conductivity; TIC, total inorganic carbon; TOC, total organic carbon; N, nitrogen; P, phosphorus; and K; potassium. Values with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different from each other at P < 0.05 (Tukey’s Studentized Range test, SAS).
