This invention belongs to the field of microbial pesticides and discloses a highly effective
Bacillus subtilis strain for killing spider mites and its applications. The
Bacillus subtilis strain described in this invention has the preservation number CCTCC NO: M 20251959. Indoor
bioassay data show that
Bacillus subtilis NBIF-051 has high
toxicity against major agricultural mites such as the two-spotted
spider mite, the citrus red
spider mite, and the cotton red
spider mite. Pot experiments showed that after spraying the fermented broth of NBIF-051 for 7 days, the control
efficacy against the two-spotted spider
mite was 65.18%. Field trials showed that after spraying the fermented broth of this strain for 15 days, the control
efficacy against the citrus red spider
mite was 63.45%~76.85%, comparable to commercially available chemical acaricides. Furthermore, the acaricidal activity of the fermented broth of this strain exhibits certain tolerance to high temperatures and
ultraviolet radiation, showing broad application prospects in agricultural production.
