- Intervention effect Seeds treated with B. bifurcata extract at 0.5% had high hypocotyl and radicle length.
- Intervention effect All extract concentrations improved seedling biomass.
- Intervention effect Greenhouse growth was higher in tomato plants given weak concentrations of B. bifurcata extract.
