Soil and Plant Response to Bacillus Velezensis Inoculation in Sugarcane

A figshare-hosted dataset by Hariane Luiz Santos, last updated in April 2026, documents a controlled trial on sugarcane. The 3.1 MB file contains results from a study evaluating the effects of Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 inoculation, alone and combined with phosphate fertilizer, on soil properties and plant nutrient accumulation.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between soil enzyme activity and phosphorus accumulation based on described positive correlations.
• Analyzing the trade-off between microbial biomass and root development based on the described negative correlation.
• Comparing treatment efficacy for reducing phosphate fertilizer dependence based on the described trial design with six treatments.
• Investigating multivariate responses of soil chemical and biological attributes to bacterial inoculation based on the described analysis.

Strengths

• Data is from a controlled, completely randomized design trial with six distinct treatments.
• Description provides specific percentage increases for key metrics like soil P content (22.0%) and enzyme activities.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require extraction or conversion for analysis.
