1 Emergence percentages were measured eight days after sowing (DAS). All other data were collected after 22 days of growing maize sprouts (Prelude cv.) in a greenhouse. Values represent an average of 10 replications ± standard error. Statistically significant (one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05) differences between treatments at the same measures are indicated by different letters (A–B).
