1Main effect of time: P < 0.0001, n = 40, N = 120, k = 3, Pooled SEM = 0.21.
2Those with different superscripts (a–c) are significantly different from one another (P < 0.05).
3Main effect of treatment: P < 0.0001, n = 60, N = 120, k = 2, Pooled SEM = 0.17.
4Those with different superscripts (a–b) are significantly different from one another (P < 0.05).
5Interaction of Treatment and Time: P = 0.0012, n = 20, N = 120, k = 6, Pooled SEM = 0.29.
6Those with different superscripts (a–d) are significantly different from one another (P < 0.05).
