  1. Within a column under each water condition, means followed by different letters are significantly different at a 0.05 probability level according to a least significant difference (LSD) test. P0: non-pelleted naked seeds; P1: Seed pelleting time of three with CaO2 content of 20% in formula 1; P2: Seed pelleting time of three with CaO2 content of 20% in formula 2. FW: fresh weight.
