The 96-hour root growth inhibition test on Allium cepa after 96 h of exposure

	Root Length (mm), Mean±SD
Treatment group	0h	96h
Tap Water	24±0.20	60±5.22
1.5 μg/ml	24±0.18	17±0.
25 μg/ml	24±0.13	13±0.6
75 μg/ml	24±0.17	16±0.2
150 μg/ml	24±0.15	14±0.4

Data values are mean ± standard deviation (SD) of root lengths of five determinations per group of Allium cepa exposed to different concentrations of DHAP. The negative control group (0hour) has been previously grown in water to reach about 24cm length. Figures marked with asterisks are significantly different from the negative control ( = p<0.05; = p<0.01; = p<0.001). Data was analysed by two-way ANOVA, using Tukey’s test.
