Optimal fertilizer formulation for maximizing bamboo shoot production while improving soil fertility.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundDendrocalamus latiflorus is an important bamboo species with comprehensive values encompassing economic and ecological aspects.Formula fertilization is critical for enhancing bamboo shoot productivity, quality, and soil sustainability.This study aimed to determine the best fertilizer combination for maximizing yield, improving shoot quality, and maintaining soil fertility in bamboo forests.
methodsUsing an orthogonal L16(45) design, we tested different application rates of urea (N), calcium-magnesium phosphate (P), potassium sulfate (K), and water-soluble silica (Si). Yield, shoot quality, and soil fertility were assessed, and treatments were evaluated using the affiliation function method.
resultsFormula fertilization significantly (p < 0.01) influenced yield, quality, and soil fertility: the N2P2K2Si2 treatment produced the highest yield at 2163.90 kg/mu, 52.69% higher than the control; the N1P3K2Si0 treatment achieved the best bamboo shoots quality with an affiliation value of 0.566, representing a 15.51% improvement; the N3P2K1Si0 treatment led to the highest soil fertility index of 0.506, an increase of 13.96%.The N3P3K3Si0 treatment had the highest comprehensive score, making it the optimal formula for balancing yield, quality, and soil health.
conclusionsThe results of the affiliation function analysis showed that the fertilization treatment of N3P3K3Si0 had the highest comprehensive score and the best effect on the yield, quality, and soil fertility of D. latiflorus, which was the best fertilization formula.Though findings are based on controlled experimental conditions; field validation across diverse environments is needed, and long-term trials under varying climatic and soil conditions should assess broader applicability.
