TSP = total soluble protein.

Values are means ± s.e. Different letters show significant differences in each parameter (P < 0.05, post-hoc Duncan’s test, n = 4).

Treatments are C0 = initial group, C = control, B = beetles, A = ants, W = wasps, F = flies, I = root fertilized with inorganic solution.
