2.5. Statistical analysis
The experimental designs were a randomized complete
block with 20 repetitions for the germination test and 10
repetitions for plant experiments. All data was analyzed statistically by a one-way ANOVA method using the SigmaStat
software package and considering the treatment as
the independent variable. The mean (of each parameter
measured) was evaluated statistically by Tuckey’s test considering
a significance level of P P 0.05 throughout the
study.
