Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Beneficial microorganisms suppressed A. flavus and F. verticillioides growth in vitro to varying extents.
- Observation Bsp 3/aM, Has 1/c, M5, and T2 had the greatest antagonistic effect on seedborne mycotoxigenic fungi.
- Intervention effect The four strains increased maize seedling root and shoot lengths under greenhouse conditions.
- Intervention effect The four strains increased maize seedling germination and vigour index under greenhouse conditions.
- Intervention effect The four strains increased maize seedling fresh and dry weights under greenhouse conditions.
- Intervention effect Bsp 3/aM raised Hema maize yield by 9.4% versus control.
- Intervention effect Bsp 3/aM raised Pearl maize yield by 6.2% versus control.
- Association Increased maize growth and yield correlated with nutrient uptake in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect All microbial formulations significantly reduced A. flavus infection in harvested maize seed.
- Intervention effect All microbial formulations significantly reduced aflatoxin contamination of harvested maize seed.
- Intervention effect No microbial formulation significantly reduced F. verticilliodes incidence.
- Intervention effect No microbial formulation significantly reduced fumonisin contamination.
- Mechanism The authors infer that the microbes improve maize health by suppressing seedborne fungi and promoting nutrient uptake.
