  1. Control: Tap water, TFM 1: 1.6 µg/L triflumuron, TFM 2: 10.0 µg/L triflumuron, TFM 3: 24.2 µg/L triflumuron. n = 50 for germination percentage, and n = 10 for root elongation and weight gain. Statistical differences between means are indicated by different letters (a−d) in the same column (p < 0.05).
