value

CEV = coffee pulp Eisenia fetida vermicompost, CDV = coffee pulp Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost, and CEV_CDV = a combination of coffee pulp Eisenia fetida and Dendrobaena veneta vermicompost. Means within a column followed by the same letter(s) are not significantly different at the 0.1%, 5% LSD test.
