e1“Such bionutrient package application for four consecutive years resulted in an increase in fertilizer use efficiency (5–10%), ARA activity, Azospirillum preponderance, and soil nutrients like total nitrogen (4–5%), total phosphorus (0.7–1%), organic carbon (14–16%) compared to the initial value.”

Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Pseudomonas-enriched mycostraw contained three times as much nitrogen and sulfur as rice straw.
- Observation Enriched mycostraw contained twice as much phosphorus as rice straw.
- Observation Enriched mycostraw contained 1.3–1.9 times the potash and micronutrients of rice straw.
- Observation Enriched mycostraw had a C:N ratio of 17.3.
- Intervention effect The package increased ARA activity and Azospirillum preponderance relative to initial values.
- Intervention effect The package increased soil total nitrogen by 4–5% compared with the initial value.
- Intervention effect The package increased soil total phosphorus by 0.7–1% compared with the initial value.
- Intervention effect The package increased soil organic carbon by 14–16% compared with the initial value.
- Intervention effect The package augmented rice grain yield by 17%.
- Intervention effect The package augmented rice straw yield by 14.1%.
- Intervention effect At farmers’ sites, the package increased rice grain yield by 6–20% for resource rich farmers over conventional practice.
- Intervention effect At farmers’ sites, the package increased rice grain yield by 10–35% for resource poor farmers over conventional practice.
- Observation Varietal differences did not influence the benefit from the bionutrient package.
- Recommendation The authors propose conversion of rice straw into mycostraw and enrichment with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.
