Biocontrol Efficacy of Two Paenibacillus Strains Against Astragalus Root Rot

Experimental data details the biocontrol mechanisms of two Paenibacillus strains, HQ-1 and HQT-2, against Fusarium solani root rot in Astragalus membranaceus. The dataset includes in vitro assay results, greenhouse experiment outcomes showing preventive efficacies of 86.046% and 80.619%, and metagenomic analysis of soil microbial shifts. The data was published by Chenying Wu on figshare in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare biocontrol efficacy based on reported preventive efficacy percentages (86.046% for HQ-1, 80.619% for HQT-2)
• Analyze shifts in soil microbial communities based on metagenomic analysis results mentioned in the description
• Study plant growth-promoting traits of Paenibacillus polymyxa and Paenibacillus terrae strains

Strengths

• Reports specific quantitative results, including preventive efficacies of 86.046% and 80.619%
• Includes multiple analysis types: in vitro assays, greenhouse experiments, and metagenomic sequencing
• Provides systematic evidence for the biocontrol efficacy of Paenibacillus terrae, addressing a noted gap in literature

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Dataset is very small (13.9 KB), indicating limited scope
