19 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Antifungal activity of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extracts against major plant pathogens | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include antifungal activity, moringa oleifera, leaf extracts, plant pathogens, chemical pesticides, environment-friendly substitutes, athelia rolfsii, bioactive compounds. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 9 factual, 3 list, 2 definition, 2 relationship, 2 summary, 1 comparison. 10 of the 19 pairs (52.6%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 9 are factual or table-based questions. 94.74% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset contains 19 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a study on the antifungal properties of moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extracts. The research explores the use of moringa extracts as an environment-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, which are known to cause soil and water pollution. Moringa leaves were extracted using solvents such as water, acetone, ethyl acetate, and hexane, and tested against soil-borne pathogens like Athelia rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani, and Fusarium spp. The dataset includes factual, explanatory, and comparative questions, with answers sourced directly from the study published in The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences.
