Effect
Increased yield
Covenant treated maize, Zea mays L. cv. 'PR36B08', a significant effect on dry weight of shoot (+15.4%) and root (+27.2%), no significant effect on shoot dry matter, significant effect on root dry matter (+14.3%), significant upregulating effect on secundary metabolism compared to the untreated control.
