  1. Data are presented as the means ± standard deviation (SD, n = 3). Lowercase letters indicate SNK variance between groups under same nitrogen treatments at same sampling time. The * indicate a significant source of variance at P = 0.05, while ** at P = 0.01. NS means no significance. N1: 0.2 g N pot−1; N2: 0.35 g N pot−1; N3: 0.5 g N pot−1; N4: 1 g N pot−1.
