Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The 1.5 g/L pre-infection treatment resulted in the highest level of effectiveness among all treatments in faba bean.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of B. subtilis extract increased plant height, number of pods and pod weight of faba bean during both seasons.
- Observation Virus-infected faba bean plants without treatment had the lowest performance across all traits.
- Intervention effect Post-infection treatments gave moderate improvements in faba bean but were less effective than preventive applications.
- Recommendation The authors recommend applying B. subtilis preventively at 1.5 g/L for optimal protection and productivity in faba bean cultivation.
