Functional Traits
Effect of water (W), nitrogen (N) and culture (C) individually and their
interactions (W × N × C) had affected the functional traits
(P<0.01, Table 2). CHI, and SLA were non-significantly
affected by the interaction of W × N and W × C. Plant height and leaf
nitrogen was not effective by C. The remaining other functional traits
were affected significantly by each of the individual factors and their
interaction (P<0.01, 0.05; Table 2). Plant height of
WT and WC under flooding (F), nitrogen
(N) and double additional nitrogen (2N) was non-significant under
monoculture but significant under mixed culture. Flooding along with
additional and double additional nitrogen (F.N, F.2N) promoted the plant
height of WT compared with the WC both
in monoculture and mixed cultures (Fig. 2a).
