Data transformed by Box-Cox method. Means followed by the same letter (column) do not differ among themselves by the Scott-Knott test at 5%. Nonsignificant at 5% by the test; — = not evaluated; CMd = Dystric Cambisol; FRr = Rhodic Ferralsol; BPM = Poultry Manure Bokashi; BC = CNPH Bokashi; BCM = Cattle Manure Bokashi.
