The results showed no significant main effect of the CO 2 treatment (F(1, 538) = .49, p = .484), but a highly significant main effect of the three different growth periods (F(2, 538) = 364.89, p <.001) and a highly significant interaction effect between CO 2 and the growing period (F(2, 538) = 29.32, p <.001).
