Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Both inoculation forms significantly enhanced onion growth.
- Intervention effect Both inoculation forms significantly enhanced onion nutrient uptake.
- Intervention effect Both inoculation forms significantly enhanced soil fertility.
- Intervention effect Immobilized cells raised onion bulb yield by 44.9% over control.
- Intervention effect Immobilized cells outperformed free cells on bulb yield.
- Intervention effect Treatments elevated N, P and K in onion bulbs.
- Intervention effect Treatments elevated N, P and K in soil.
- Observation Immobilized cells showed superior nutrient mobilization.
- Association Bacterial treatments were associated with a short-term reduction in onion rhizosphere microbial diversity.
- Intervention effect Bacterial treatments selectively enriched plant-beneficial taxa.
- Intervention effect Bacterial treatments suppressed non-beneficial competitors.
- Observation Post-harvest observations indicated no long-term detriment to soil health.
- Method / resource The field trial validated bacterial cellulose as a PGPR carrier under arid conditions.
- Recommendation The authors propose microbial immobilization in bacterial cellulose to enhance crop yield and soil nutrient dynamics.
