  1. Different uppercase letters indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) between the evaluation periods [Immediately treated (ICT) and allowed to recolonize (RT)]. Distinct lowercase letters indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) among treatments (CTC, CT5, and CT8).
