Conc. = concentration.
There were no significant differences between surfactants, but there were significant differences between the concentrations of surfactants.
*Three replicates of 50 seedlings per replicate were tested in each treatment.
† Means followed by the same letter (a, b, c) were not significantly different at the 5% level as determined by The Tukey multiple comparison test.
