Notes.

Data were means ± standard error (n = 3). Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 level among the four treatments in the same year. Different capital letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05 level between 2018 and 2019 in the same treatment. CK, RSMT, SBMT and CMT represent no organic fertilizer treatment, rapeseed meal treatment, soybean meal treatment and cattle manure treatment, respectively.
