Treatment	Shoot length (cm)	Root length (cm)	Dry weight (mg)	Chlorophyll content (mg g⁻¹)
Control	21.61 ± 0.24^a	8.21 ± 0.24^a	60.82 ± 1.21^a	1.15 ± 0.12^a
ND06	25.14 ± 0.32^c	9.36 ± 1.37^a	90.65 ± 2.12^b	1.65 ± 0.31^b
ND10	27.37 ± 1.36^b	11.31 ± 1.19^b	110.12 ± 4.12^c	1.86 ± 0.12^c

Data represent averages based on 15 seedlings (n = 15). Chlorophyll contents represent averages based on three replicates (n = 3). Mean values with the same letter(s) in the column do not differ significantly according to HSD test (p < 0.05)
