Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation SE34r maintained its initial medium population density.
- Observation 89B61r populations in medium fell by one to two orders of magnitude after four weeks.
- Observation Both strains colonized whole and lateral roots more densely than taproots at four and six weeks.
- Observation SE34r colonized the phyllosphere after medium incorporation.
- Observation 89B61r did not colonize the phyllosphere under medium incorporation.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment produced higher SE34r populations on upper roots and taproot than medium application.
- Intervention effect Medium application produced higher bacterial populations on lower and lateral roots than seed treatment.
- Intervention effect SE34 promoted tomato growth through both application routes.
