Reviewer 2 Report
I would like to thank the authors because they accepted everything that was suggested. Also, I would like to thank the authors for the precise answers and explanations. Revised manuscript is interesting and useful for the scientific community. I am glad that the authors appreciated my comments and that I had contributed from my side for this very interesting publication.
Some minor issues:
- It is recommended to use the citation of the map at Figure 1.
- The authors should mention the number of replications per treatment and the number of plants per each treatment.
- Table 3 is double printed in this version and I couldn’t check it.
- At table 4 the letters of the comparison of means are missing, or a part of the Table is missing.
