  1. +NPK, complete fertilization; −N, fertilization without N; −P, fertilization without P; −K, fertilization without K; −NPK, no fertilization. Values are means (n = 3) ± standard errors. Different letters indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05) using Tukey’s multiple-comparison test following a one-way ANOVA
