Means ± SE (n = 4) followed by the same lower-case letters in the column do not differ significantly (t-test (LSD), p < 0.05). DAG, days after germination. Means of four composed repetitions (each repetition had four plants per pot). SE, standard error; N, nitrogen; P, phosphorus; K, potassium; Ca, calcium; Mg, magnesium; S, sulphur.
