nutrients during decomposition of organic materials ( Hsieh and Hsieh, 1990 ). Biofertilizers with PGPR can be used to increase soil productivity and plant growth in sustainable agriculture through increasing mineral and organic fertilizer use efficiency
to enhance the flavor of other foods ( Kopsell and Randle, 1997 ). Flavor intensity in onion is dominated by organosulphur compounds arising from the enzymatic decomposition of S-alk(en)yl-L-cysteine S-oxide when the cells are mechanically ruptured
Analytical, Fairfield, OH). Statistical analyses of data were performed with SAS (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Analysis of variance was used to compare treatment effects. Means were separated using Duncan's multiple range test ( P < 0.05). Results and
exchange capacity and water retention capacity and resistance to decomposition ( Nelson, 2011 ). However, coir (coconut coir dust) is reported to have many characteristics that make it equal or superior to peat as a component in substrates ( Arenas and
method. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (α = 0.1) ( Marini, 1999 ) and means separation by way of Tukey’s honestly significant difference when appropriate. All data were processed using JMP ® Pro Version 10.0.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC
penetrometer (Fruit tester; Alfonsine, Italy) fitted with an 8-mm diameter probe. All data were analyzed for significant differences by one-way analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple range test at P < 0.05 using the STATGRAPHICS centurion Version 15
marigold studies and eight for the geranium experiment. Data were subjected to analysis of variance with mean separation by Duncan's multiple range test using SAS (Version 9.1; SAS Institute, Cary NC) and regression analysis using SigmaPlot (Version 9
) over time was expressed as: Δ E * = [(Δ L *) 2 + (Δ a *) 2 + (Δ b *) 2 ] 1/2 . The value indicates a total change of lightness, red/greenness, and yellow/blueness. Statistical analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out using SPSS software
). According to another researcher, Phylazonit increased the extractable NO 3 − in sandy soil, decreased the effect of wheat straw (high C/N ratio), and helped in the decomposition of wheat straw and caused a significantly higher amount of organic-N ( Balla
bulb were also recorded. The data were subjected to the general linear model analysis of variance procedure of NCSS statistical software (NCSS, Kaysville, UT). Treatment means were compared using Fisher's protected lsd at the 5% probability level
