Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Formulated B. subtilis products increased rice yield by more than 100% in Tanzania.
- Intervention effect Formulated T. asperellum products increased rice yield by more than 100% in Tanzania.
- Intervention effect Microbial treatments significantly reduced rice blast.
- Mechanism The authors attributed increased rice yield versus fungicide mainly to improved development rather than blast reduction.
- Intervention effect At the Kenyan site, microbial products produced a limited but statistically significant rice yield increase.
- Intervention effect Seed coating with S. nematodiphila yielded grain comparable to transplant dipping and foliar spraying with microbial products.
- Recommendation The authors recommend alternating formulated microbial products over time for rice productivity.
