Table 1.

Flowability data showing the fold-increase in volume per minute, weight per minute, and number of florets per minute passed through the custom-built mechanised seeder compared to the control. The number of florets per gram is also provided. Asterisks “*”, “**”, and “***” represent significance levels 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively. For example, “(1.8**)” indicates that the treatment resulted in a 1.8-fold improvement on the control and that this increase was significant (p < 0.01). The mean ± standard error values for the control have been provided.
