The means of the radial growth (cm) ± the standard deviation of the triplicates are represented in this table. Statistical differences are indicated as: * = significant difference (p < 0.05). Data with the same letters are not significantly different (p < 0.05). Abbreviations: GAE: Gallic acid Equivalent, EOs: Essential oils.
