Table 5: Summary of the effect of fertilizer-phosphorus (P) source on grain tissue properties for rice grown in a P-deficient, silt-loam soil under flood-irrigated conditions in the greenhouse. Least square means are reported, with n = 4 observations for MAP and RP, but n = 3 observations for DAP, ECST, TSP, and the UC and n = 2 observations for CPST due to missing data from one dead plant and grain masses that were too low for any chemical analyses.
