Identification of Pseudopestalotiopsis ampullacea as a new pathogen causing tea gray blight in India and its management strategies.

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.
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
Gray blight is a serious threat to the tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] production in major tea cultivating countries including India. The disease is caused by Pestalotiopsis-like species. In this study, five isolates of Pseudopestalotiopsis species isolated from symptomatic tea leaf samples in North Bengal, India were investigated. Based on the multi-locus phylogenetic analysis using concatenated sequences of three (ITS, tef-1 alpha, and tub-2) loci, cultural and micromorphological characters, and host association, the fungal isolates were identified as Pseudopestalotiopsis ampullacea F. Liu & L. Cai. The morphological analysis also revealed that the fungal isolates were evidently differentiated from other Pseudopestalotiopsis species. To date, P. ampullacea has not been reported on tea plants in India. Among the five isolates studied, isolate NKT0P03 was randomly selected for pathogenicity tests and its sensitivity to fungicides and microbial antagonists. In pathogenicity test, the isolate showed weak to high virulence reactions on 25 different tea cultivars. The pathogen showed an avirulent reaction on the cultivar TV11. In order to identify an effective management strategy against this new pathogen, synthetic fungicides and microbial biocontrol agents were evaluated in the laboratory. Results revealed that carbendazim + mancozeb, hexaconazole, propiconazole, and valextra were effective fungicides with an 85.1% to 89.8% range of inhibitory activity against P. ampullacea NKT0P03. Among microbial agents, Trichoderma harzianum, T. reesei, T. hamatum, Bacillus subtilis, and Microbacterium barkeri were efficient bioagents against P. ampullacea NKT0P03 with antagonistic activity ranging between 66.6% and 84.2%. Thus, these fungicides and microbial bioagents can be recommended as effective agents for the management of P. ampullacea causing tea gray blight after their field evaluations.
