Contrasts^b
T1 versus T2	*	NS	*
T4 versus T5	NS	NS	†

Significant differences between specified treatments at or 0.05, respectively.
NS: no significant difference at for the specified contrast.
^aMM: mill mud; CP: yard waste compost. Treatments 2 and 3 were broadcast prior to planting and treatments 4–9 were applied in the furrow prior to planting.
^bOther nonsignificant contrasts performed were T1 versus T3; T1 versus T4, T5, and T6; T1 versus T7, T8, and T9; T5 versus T6; T7 versus T8; and T8 versus T9.
