where N1,...,n is the number of seedlings emerging since the time of
previous count; T1,...,n is the number of days after sowing; Ste is the
number of total emerged seedlings per meter; n is the number of
seeds sown per meter; MET is the mean emergence time, in days
and PE is the percent emergence.
A completely randomised design was selected for the experi-
ment. Each treatment was replicated three times. Analysis of
variance was determined using the SAS package (Cary, N.C.) to
examine the effects of treatments. Duncan’s multiple-range tests
were used to identify significantly different means within
dependent variables at P 0.05.
