Growth rate, however, increased from 1.13 in Trial 1 to 2.25 in Trial 2 and approached significance ( p = 0.0517), suggesting greater variability in growth rate under encapsulated iron at this concentration.

For the matrix-only treatment, μmax did not differ significantly between trials ( p = 0.0566); K was significantly lower in Trial 2 than in Trial 1 ( p = 0.0393), while R 2 showed a near-significant decline ( p = 0.0586).
In Trial 1, treatment type showed a trend toward affecting μmax at 20 ppm (ANOVA, p = 0.06), and carrying capacity was significantly affected by treatment ( p < 0.05).
