Treatments applied to biosolarized soils: bare control with no amendment and no LEM inoculant (B), bare with LEM inoculant (LB), compost at 50 kg·N·ha−1 and at 135 N·ha−1 with and without LEM (C50, C135, LC50, and LC135), respectively, and mineral fertilizer at 50 kg·N·ha−1 and at 135 N·ha−1 with and without LEM (M50, M135, LM50, LM135). Different letters indicate significant differences within columns (α = 0.10). Leaf Yield/N applied reported as g dried leaves g−1 N applied to each pot. Survival indicates the % of plants that recuperated after a hard freeze in January 2018. |
