Contrasts^b
T1 versus T2 and T3	NS	**	†	*

Significant differences between specified treatments at , 0.05, or 0.01, respectively.
NS: no significant difference at for the specified contrast.
^aMM: mill mud; CP: yard waste compost. All mill mud and compost
treatments were applied in the furrow prior to planting.
^bOther nonsignificant contrasts performed were T2 versus T3 and T1 versus T4 and T5.
