Values presented as mean ± standard deviation.

Means in the same column with different superscripts ^abcdefg are significantly different (p ≤ 0.001).

The means shown in the same column with common superscripts are not significantly different (p > 0.05).

TKW, thousand kernel weight.

***Highly significant at 0.001.
