Table 1:
Effect of different rates of calcium carbide on germination percentage of sweet pepper cv. Yolo Wonder F-1 at 15±2°C
Values sharing same letter(s) in each column do not differ at p = 0.05 according to least significant test. Mean values sharing same letter (s) in each row do not differ at p = 0.05 according to least significant test. *Control containing CaSO4 equivalent to Ca in CaC2 to neglect the effect of Ca on seedling growth. Italic values indicate % increase in mean germination rate over control (T1). LSD values: Growth period (A) = 5.3920, Rate of CaC2 (B)= 5.1624, Interaction (A×B)=17.883.
