TABLE 1.

Soil parameters’ analysis in samples from a field wheat trial under four different conditions collected at 27 weeks after sowing and 12 days after second top dressing application where corresponded.

aFor each parameter, values are means of three plots by treatment (n = 3). Values in the same row with same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey’s test (P > 0.05). bThe four conditions, under high basal chemical N fertilization, were as follow: C1, control; C2, two applications of calcium nitrate as top dressing (TD); C3, T. harzianum T34 (T34); and C4, T34 plus two applications of calcium nitrate as TD. cSignificant effects were determined by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for T34, TD, and the interactions between both factors (T34 × TD) (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05). ns, no statistical differences.
