The data were analyzed using one way-ANOVA, two way-ANOVA and independent (t) test, wherever applicable. Superscripts A, B shows differences in columns and a, b, c in rows. Mean bearing at least one common superscript didn’t show any difference. FD = effect within days (D), FG = effect within groups (G), FDG = interaction within days and groups *<0.05, **<0.01.
