Results of MANOVA for grass protein and carbohydrate ratios at two time points and ANOVAs for grass protein and carbohydrate content at two time points.
| Variable | Source | df | F-ratio | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grass P:C ratio | Time point | 1,32 | 25.13 | <0.0001* |
| Land-use | 1,32 | 43.67 | <0.0001* | |
| Grass protein (%) | Time point | 1,33 | 10.29 | <0.01* |
| Land-use | 1,33 | 70.22 | <0.0001* | |
| Grass carbohydrates (%) | Time point | 1,32 | 30.57 | <0.0001* |
| Land-use | 1,32 | 0.61 | 0.44 |
Notes: Time point refers to the time of the testing (early or late August), and land-use to the type of field where grasses were collected (millet or fallow). * P < 0.05.
