aFor each parameter, values are means of three plots by condition (n = 3). Values in the same row with same letter are not significantly different according to Duncan’s test (P > 0.05). bThe four conditions, under high basal chemical N fertilization, were as follows: C1, control; C2, two applications of calcium nitrate as top dressing (TD); C3, T. harzianum T34 seed-inoculation (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) (Duncan’s test, P < 0.05). ns, no significant differences.
