Group I: tap water (control), Group II: 5 mg/L curcumin, Group III: 10 mg/L curcumin, Group IV: 12 mg/L pendimethalin, Group V: 12 mg/L pendimethalin + 5 mg/L curcumin, Group VI: 12 mg/L pendimethalin + 10 mg/L curcumin. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The averages shown with different letters in the same column are statistically significant (P < 0.05).
