STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
All data are analyzed using generally accepted statistical tests. In most cases the probabilities of main
effects and interactions are shown. The number listed is a percent probability that the effect difference
is due to chance (i.e. not due to treatment). A Fisher’s Protected Least Significant Difference (LSD) is
calculated for all main effect probabilities of 10 percent or less.
