2.3. Biomass and growth parameter analysis
A total of 30 young plants for each treatment were randomly
selected and destructively sampled for biomass analysis after 30
days of growth. To determine the dry weight, the young plants were
dried at 85 ◦C until a constant mass was reached. The weight of
the young plants was then measured using an electronic balance.
The plant height was measured from the main stem base to the
top of the young plants using a ruler, and the stem diameter was
measured at the internode above cotyledons using vernier calipers.
The growth and morphology experiment was repeated 6 times with
5 plants in each treatment.
