Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Radopholus similis inoculation increased banana root damage.
- Intervention effect Radopholus similis inoculation reduced plant height and leaf size.
- Intervention effect Radopholus similis inoculation reduced bunch size and banana yields.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased banana plant growth and bunch size.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased banana yield by 131% to 37 tonnes per hectare.
- Intervention effect Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 inoculation reduced banana height, leaf number, and leaf size.
- Intervention effect Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 inoculation shortened duration to harvest.
- Intervention effect Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 inoculation reduced toppling among mulched banana plants inoculated with Radopholus similis.
- Mechanism The lower toppling frequency was attributed tentatively to smaller plant size during growth.
- Observation The claimed biological-control enhancement from Fusarium oxysporum V5w2 inoculation was not verified.
