. Statistical analyses
Analytical determinations were done in duplicate or triplicate from two independent samples and data were reported as means ± standard deviation. When appropriate, statistical differences among treatments were estimated by ANOVA. Whenever ANOVA indicated a significant difference, a pairwise comparison of means by least significant difference was carried out at a significant level of 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using InfoStat software, version 1.1 (Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba).
