Ameliorative effects of biofertilizers on yield, water use efficiency and quality of bean under drought stress conditions.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is one of the alternative strategies to mitigate the effects of drought. This study aimed to determine the effects of the Partial Root-Zone Drying (PRD) and conventional deficit irrigation techniques on dwarf bean by reducing drought stress through microbial fertilizer applications. The parameters evaluated included yield, plant water consumption, water use efficiency (WUE), irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), plant growth characteristics, chlorophyll content and biochemical properties. The Gina dwarf bean variety (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Gina) was used in the research conducted at Akdeniz University. Biofertilizers consisting of Pantoea agglomerans RK-92, Paenibacillus polymyxa TV-12E, Bacillus megaterium TV-6D and Pseudomonas fluorescens FDG-37 bacterial strains were supplied by Atatürk University Plant Protection Department. The study was planned with and without biofertilizer (BF) application, and five irrigation treatments were considered. Three conventional irrigation treatments were applied: 100% of the evaporation (I
resultsAccording to the research results, remarkable results were obtained from the biofertilizer treatments. The highest first-class (8.44 t ha
conclusionsIn conclusion, growth, yield, and quality characteristics were significantly influenced by the irrigation treatments. Biofertilizer applications were effective under both optimized and deficit irrigation conditions. The ameliorative and drought-reducing effects of biofertilizer treatments were clearly observed. This study found that biofertilizers positively impact yield and quality, potentially enabling water savings of 25-50%. They can be effectively used in regions with drought-related water shortages.
