TABLE 2.

Soil physicochemical properties in the three konjac growing sites affected by different levels of soft rot disease.

Site	Soil pH	Soil organic matter	Alkaline-hydrolyzable nitrogen	Available phosphorus	Available potassium
		(OM; g⋅kg–1)	(AN; mg⋅kg–1)	(AP; mg⋅kg–1)	(AK; mg⋅kg–1)
ND	6.63 ± 0.06a	21.66 ± 2.91c	106.35 ± 3.96b	5.14 ± 0.55b	70.83 ± 0.45c
MD	6.61 ± 0.10a	26.92 ± 3.53ab	116.05 ± 5.45b	6.22 ± 0.76b	91.67 ± 2.12b
HD	6.40 ± 0.06b	28.38 ± 2.30a	127.36 ± 3.91a	8.27 ± 0.81a	110.53 ± 0.83a

ND, MD, and HD represent the non-diseased, moderately diseased, and highly diseased konjac stands infected by soft rot disease, respectively. Values are means ± standard deviation (n = 3). Means followed by different letters are significantly different [p ≤ 0.05; least significant difference (LSD) test].
