^aCensored numbers (<LOD) were given zero.

^bCensored numbers (<LOD) were given LOD/2.

Statistical analysis was carried out for censored numbers (<LOD) given zero.

Within each column, means showed significant diff ;erence P < 0.05 (LSD=4.27).

Within each raw means showed no significant difference P > 0.05.

Within each column, maximum showed significant diff ;erence P < 0.05 (LSD=31.57).

Within each raw maximum showed significant difference P < 0.05(LSD=31.57).
