Table 2: Experimental design with the number of samples (pots) for the treatments and control per batch (ozonation treatments as a function of time).

Ozone dose (g.kg-1 O3)
Control 0.47 0.73 0.79 1.1 1.2 1.41
Batch # 1 8 4 - 4 4 - 4
Batch # 2 8 - 5 4 4 - 4
Batch # 3 8 - 4 4 4 4 -
Batch # 4 8 4 4 4 4 -
Batch # 5 8 - - - 5 5 5

Note: The experimental design consisted of five batches of 23 to 25 pots each, including eight control pots and four of the six doses for batches 1 to 4 and three of the doses for batch 5.
