Effects of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Young Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.)

Table 6

Effects of different treatments on plant height, TCSA, and percentage of surviving cacao plants assessed over a period of 22 months after transplanting.

Treatments	Plant height (cm)	TCSA (cm^2)	Survival rate (%)
T1	147.8 ^bc	33.8^c	73.3
T2	139.2^c	30.4^d	78.6
T3	157.0^b	37.0^b	85.8
T4	177.5^a	39.0^a	88.6
T5	151.4 ^bc	34.1^c	75.8
T6	149.7 ^bc	37.5^b	89.3
SE	8.3	0.4
SED	11.8	0.6

SE = standard errors; SED = standard errors of differences. Within the same column, means followed by different superscript alphabet(s) are significantly different at using Tukey’s post hoc test.
