The effect of the presence of BK split-root on P root parameters. Total root length (a), total root surface area (b), Average total root diameter (c), Total root volume (d), Number of root tips (e), Number of root forks (f), Root dry weight (g) of P grown without a neighbour plant (P was compared to P grown as a neighbour to BK split-root (NP). The bars indicate the mean (n = 5), and the error bars indicate the standard deviation. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison post hoc test was performed to determine significant differences in root parameters. n = 5, 95% confidence level, p > 0.05 *p ≤ 0.05 **p ≤ 0.01 ***p ≤ 0.001.
