Note. Mean value within columns followed by the same letter (s) of trait (s) were not significantly different at 5% probability level; LSD, least significant difference; CV (%), is coefficient of variation in percent; GA_3, gibberellic acid; KH₂PO₄, potassium dihydrogen phosphate; and the value in the bracket is the original (nontransformed) data.
