1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The soil nature and characterstics are directly related to the micro-organisms present, bio-mineralization process, plant type and thus having harmonius and interdependent relationships. Soil bacteria having antagonistic activity against phytopathogens, play an important role in root growth, overall plant growth and also their composition depends upon the plant species. Population explosion across globe has resulted in indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, fungicides and pesticides, thus posing serious risk to plant productivity and soil flora. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are considered safer than chemical fertilizers as they are eco-friendly and sustain longer after colonization in rhizospheric soil. PGPRs are preferred as a green choice and acts as a superior biocontrol agents against phytopathogens. In the present study, a potential rhizobacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (isolate-2) was isolated from the rhizosphere of a medicinal plant, Valeriana wallichi. The bacterial isolate exhibited qualitative tests for plant growth promoting determinatives. It was also subjected to in-vitro biocontrol activity against potential phytopathogens viz. Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus and F. oxysporum. The antagonistic efficacy against F. oxysporum was 56.2% followed by Alternaria alternata to be 51.02%. The maximum inhibition of radial growth of F. oxysporum was 69.2%, Alternaria alternata (46.4%) and Aspergillus flavus (15%). The Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited plant growth promotion rhizobacterial activity which can be expoited as biofertilizers. This study deals with microbial revitalization strategy and offers promising solution as a biocontrol agent to enhance crop yield. Further, PGPRs research using the interdisciplinary approaches like biotechnology, nanotechnology etc. will unravel the molecular mechanisms which may be helpful for maximizing its potential in sustainable agriculture.
