Means followed by the same letter in a column do not differ significantly by 𝐹 test at 5% probability. C: clone; SR: survival rate %; SH: shoot height in cm; SDM: shoot dry matter in g/plant; RDM: root dry matter in g/plant; SBD: stem base diameter in mm; DQI: Dickson quality index; macronutrients (dag/kg): N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S; micronutrients (mg/kg): Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, and B; RV: reference values for seedlings between 80 and 100 days (Silveira et al., 2001 [9]).
