15 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessment of fungal and bacterial bioagents against Bipolaris sorokiniana inciting spot blotch on barley (Hordeum vulgare) | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include bipolaris sorokiniana, spot blotch, barley, hordeum vulgare, trichoderma asperellum, trichoderma harzianum, bacillus amyloliquefaciens, biocontrol agents. 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: 8 factual, 4 list, 2 summary, 1 definition. 7 of the 15 pairs (46.7%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 8 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset compiles extractive question-and-answer pairs from a study on fungal and bacterial bioagents targeting Bipolaris sorokiniana, the pathogen responsible for spot blotch disease in barley. The research, conducted at ICAR-Indian Agriculture Research Institute, tested various isolates of Trichoderma asperellum, Trichoderma harzianum, and bacterial species under in vitro and in planta conditions. Key findings include the effectiveness of certain bioagents in disease inhibition and their potential as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical treatments.
