Table 3.
Kruskal-Wallis test results of watering and manuring effects on the carbon and nitrogen isotope values of foxtail millet (Setaria), broomcorn millet (Panicum), and wheat (Triticum) grains.
| Setaria | Panicum | Triticum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| watering effects on carbon isotope values | |||
| 1% manure, L watering vs. M watering vs. H watering | p=0.19 | p=0.08 | p=0.063 |
| (n=3,3,3) | (n=3,2,2) | (n=3,3,3) | |
| 5% manure, M watering vs. H watering | p=0.49 | p=0.076 | p=0.44 |
| (n=3,3) | (n=2,3) | (n=2,2) | |
| manuring effects on nitrogen isotope values | |||
| M watering, 1% manure vs. 5% manure | p=0.049 | p=0.12 | p=0.083 |
| (n=3,3) | (n=2,2) | (n=3,2) | |
| H watering, 1% manure vs. 5% manure | p=0.049 | p=0.083 | p=0.083 |
| (n=3,3) | (n=2,3) | (n=3,2) | |
| M and H watering levels combined, 1% manure vs. 5% manure |
p=0.004 | p=0.014 | p=0.011 |
| (n=6,6) | (n=4,5) | (n=6,4) | |
L watering, M watering, and H watering corresponds to low, medium, and high watering levels respectively.
