Results of analysis of variance

F = 4.37; p = 0.0086

F = 4.92; p = 0.0054

  1. The value of the test statistic F and the p-value test of the variance analysis are given in the last row of the table. Differences between treatments were compared using Tukey's HSD test. Different lowercase letters in columns (a and b) indicate statistically different values. The blocking effect was insignificantly different.
