Jatropha curcas L. Root Structure and Growth in Diverse Soils

Table 3

Average ± SD dry matter allocation in J. curcas curcas grown in three different soil types.

Soil type	Total biomass (g)	Stem, total^−1	Leaves, total^−1	Root, total^−1
Sand	3.17 ± 1.24^b	0.77 ± 0.10^a	0.03 ± 0.04^b	0.20 ± 0.07^a
Sandy-loam	29.59 ± 9.81^a	0.63 ± 0.06^a	0.19 ± 0.06^a	0.18 ± 0.03^a
Clay-loam	30.01 ± 11.01^a	0.66 ± 0.10^a	0.17 ± 0.04^ab	0.17 ± 0.04^a

^a,bMeans within a column which do not share the same letter are significantly different (𝑃 < 0.05).
