Efficacy of seed priming and foliar application of seaweed extracts on the performance of summer mung bean [(Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek].
Article in Scientific reports, 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
In modern agricultural scenarios, the application of various seaweed-based biostimulants has been recognized for its positive effects on improving crop growth, yield, nutrient uptake, and overall quality across a wide range of crops. Hence, a 2-year field experiment (2023-2024) was conducted in the Instructional Farm of Sasya Shyamala Krishi Vigyan Kendra, RKMVERI falling under the Coastal Saline Agroclimatic Zone of West Bengal to assess the impact of Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed extract on mung bean (cv. Virat), applied via seed priming and foliar spray under eight nutrient management treatments in a Randomized Complete Block Design. The combined application of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDFNPK) and seaweed extract through seed priming, and two foliar sprays significantly enhanced shoot and root growth, chlorophyll content, yield-attributing traits, and seed yield, achieving a 30.03% and 28.81% increase in 2023 and 2024, respectively. This treatment also improved macronutrient (N, P, K) uptake and produced the highest crude protein content (26.67% in 2023 and 26.13% in 2024). While seed nutrient uptake was maximized, stover nutrient uptake varied between sole and combined seaweed applications. The highest net return (₹ 21,013/ha and ₹ 26,558/ha) was recorded from this treatment, whereas the best incremental cost-benefit ratio (21.49 and 25.08) was noted with seed priming and a single foliar spray of seaweed extract alongside RDF
