“Pooled results showed that irrigation I2- At Flag leaf stage & at Milking stage; H3- pusa hydrogel @ 5.0 kg ha-1 and M2-100 % RDF + 0.5 % Zn (foliar application at maximum vegetative stage and pre flowering) significantly improved yield attributes over other treatments respectively, increasing ears hill⁻¹ (7.30;7.31& 7.42), ears m⁻² (277.55 277.71 & 278.81), ear length (9.95 9.85 & 9.80 cm), total number of grains ear⁻¹ (41.36, 41.12 & 41.33), grain weight ear⁻¹ (1.57, 1.57 & 1.59g), and test weight (38.03, 38.19 & 38.45 g), while slightly extending days to 50 % flowering (93.83, 94.08 & 92.78 days) and raising unproductive tillers and tiller mortality modestly.”

3 of 4 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
