Values represent means ± (n = 3) separated by Duncan’s new multiple range post-hoc text at (α = 0.05). Means separated by different letters are significantly different within each year. AU : absorbance units, CI: Color intensity, TPI: total polyphenol index. Significance or non-significance for shade treatment, year (Y) and interactions between year and shade treatment (Y*S) are indicated by: ‘ns’= not significant; ‘.’ p≤0.1; ‘*’ p≤0.05; ‘**’ p≤ 0.01; ‘***’ p≤0.001.
