Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation P. polymyxa CF05 showed antagonistic effects in vitro against 9 plant fungal pathogens and 3 plant bacterial pathogens.
- Intervention effect Cell-free fermentation increased tomato seedling fresh weight biomass by 272.0% in the greenhouse assay.
- Intervention effect Cell-free fermentation increased tomato seedling dry weight biomass by 266.7% in the greenhouse assay.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment with the strain increased seed germination ratio by 11.7%.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment with the strain reduced damping-off disease incidence by 38.6%.
- Observation Root colonization by the strain in tomato rhizosphere reached 3.8, 3.6, 3.1 and 3.1 log CFU/g root after 27 days across four inoculum densities (values grouped in one claim).
