LSD (0.05)	19.4	4.1	6.4	18.5	6.9	NS
CV (%)	4.1	2.5	2.1	6.5	3.5	1.7

G. mean, grand mean; LSD, least significant difference; NS, no significantly different at probability level of 5%; CV, coefficient of variation. Means with same letter in each column are not significantly different at probability level of 5% using the LSD test.
