Table 1.
Average percent change of total Vit C and ascorbic acid (AsA) in each treatment treated with different concentrations of ascorbic acid over 3 different experiments.
| Treatment (% ascorbic acid) | Experiment-1 (greenhouse) | Experiment-2 (greenhouse) | Experiment-3 (lab) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % Increase total vit C | % Increase AsA | % Increase total vit C | % Increase AsA | % Increase total vit C | % Increase AsA | |
| 0 (Control) | – | – | – | – | – | – |
