Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to a microbial compound agent consisting of Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma longifolia, and antibacterial and growth-promoting agents, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the overuse of pesticides and fertilizers has led to an imbalance in soil microbial communities, a decline in soil quality, and frequent crop diseases, seriously affecting the sustainable development of agricultural production. Microbial inoculants, as a green and environmentally friendly agricultural input, have shown broad application prospects. However, due to the diversity of farmland environments and the variability of climatic conditions, single inoculants often fail to achieve the expected results in practical applications. Therefore, microbial inoculants are usually used in the form of multi-strain compounds, that is, by uniformly mixing two or more microorganisms in a certain proportion and then propagating and culturing them in vitro, in order to fully utilize the synergistic effects and complementary advantages between different strains, thereby significantly enhancing the growth-promoting effect.

[0003] Apple root rot is one of the most widespread and damaging root diseases. It is primarily caused by fungi such as *Fusarium oxysporium*, which have a strong infectious capacity on weak apple plants, especially during the replanting of older orchards. Therefore, maintaining healthy plant growth and effectively suppressing the pathogen are crucial for controlling apple root rot. Summary of the Invention

[0075] Experimental example: Application effects in apple cultivation

[0076] Test site

[0077] The experiment was conducted in Xizhangbai Village, Beijing Township, Linyi County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. The village falls within a continental semi-humid monsoon climate zone, at an altitude of 550m, with an average annual temperature of 13.2℃, a frost-free period of 205-212 days, an annual sunshine duration of 2293.4 hours, and an annual rainfall of approximately 550mm. The tested soil was loam.

[0078] Table 1. Physicochemical properties of soil at the test site

[0079]

[0080] Test materials

[0081] The tested apple variety was Fuji, with a plant spacing of 4m × 6m. The tested compound fertilizer was applied as a basal fertilizer (N:P₂O₅:K₂O = 16:16:16). The tested farmyard manure was well-rotted sheep manure (N:P₂O₅:K₂O ≥ 3%, organic matter ≥ 25%). The tested commercial organic fertilizer was also applied (N+P₂O₅+K₂O ≥ 5%, organic matter ≥ 45%).

[0082] Experimental Design

[0083] The experiment consisted of four treatment groups, with an inoculant application rate of 0 kg / hm². 2 (A), 15 kg / hm 2 (B) 30kg / hm 2 (C) 45 kg / hm 2 (D). The effectiveness of the microbial agent and the optimal application rate were verified by examining soil nutrient conditions, plant growth, and yield and quality. Apple trees with uniform growth were selected as test materials, with 5 trees per plot and 3 replicates. Except for the fertilization treatment, all other management practices were the same.

[0084] Application method

[0085] After apple harvest, the microbial agent is applied together with the base fertilizer. The base fertilizer application rate is 3000 kg / hm² of compound fertilizer. 2 +45t / hm of well-rotted sheep manure 2 Apply fertilizer in radial trenches. Dig four radial trenches at four points under the tree canopy, each trench 100cm long, 40cm wide, and 30cm deep. After applying the fertilizer, mix it and cover with soil. The microbial agent is a fermented liquid.

[0086] Results Analysis

[0087] 1. Impact on soil bulk density

[0088] Table 2. Effects of microbial inoculants on soil bulk density in orchards

[0089]

[0090] At a depth of 40-60 cm, there were no significant differences in soil bulk density among the treatment groups. At a depth of 20-40 cm, the bulk density of group A was 1.410±0.021 g / cm³, significantly higher than that of groups C (1.279±0.041 g / cm³) and D (1.224±0.012 g / cm³), while group B (1.355±0.053 g / cm³) was lower than that of group CK. This indicates that microbial inoculants can effectively reduce soil bulk density, especially in group D. At a depth of 0-20 cm, the bulk density of group CK was 1.468±0.023 g / cm³, significantly higher than that of groups C (1.291±0.044 g / cm³) and D (1.277±0.068 g / cm³), while group S1 (1.362±0.049 g / cm³) was lower than that of group A. This further demonstrates the effectiveness of microbial inoculants in reducing the bulk density of topsoil.

[0091] 2. Impact on soil organic matter

[0092] Table 3. Effects of microbial inoculants on orchard soil organic matter (g / kg)

[0093]

[0094] Soil samples from different depths showed little difference in organic matter content among the groups at a depth of 40-60 cm. Data for group A and treatment groups (B, C, and D) ranged from 5.72 to 5.84 g / kg, indicating that the microbial inoculant had a relatively small impact at this depth. However, the effect of the microbial inoculant began to appear at a depth of 20-40 cm. The organic matter content of groups C and D was significantly higher than that of group A, at 7.6 g / kg and 7.7 g / kg, respectively, indicating that the application of microbial inoculants at this depth effectively increased the soil's organic matter level. At a depth of 0-20 cm, the organic matter content of groups C and D reached 22.34 g / kg and 22.45 g / kg, respectively, significantly higher than the 19.34 g / kg of group A. This suggests that the application of microbial inoculants in the topsoil can significantly promote the accumulation of organic matter, possibly by enhancing soil microbial activity.

[0095] 3. Impact on soil alkaline nitrogen

[0096] Table 4. Effects of microbial inoculants on alkaline nitrogen availability in orchard soil (mg / kg)

[0097]

[0098] At all depths, there were no significant differences in available nitrogen among the groups, but the application of microbial agents in the 0-20 cm depth may have a potentially positive effect, with S2 and S3 showing increases of 18.0% and 18.1% compared to the control, respectively.

[0099] 4. Impact on available phosphorus in soil

[0100] Table 5. Effects of microbial inoculants on available phosphorus in orchard soil (mg / kg)

[0101]

[0102] The differences among all treatment groups at a depth of 20-60 cm were not statistically significant, indicating that the microbial inoculant had no significant effect on available phosphorus at this depth. At a depth of 0-20 cm, the available phosphorus content in group A was 64.77 mg / kg, significantly lower than that in groups C and D. In the topsoil (0-20 cm), the application of a certain amount of microbial inoculant significantly increased the available phosphorus content.

[0103] 5. Impact on available potassium in soil

[0104] Table 6. Effects of microbial inoculants on available potassium in orchard soil (mg / kg)

[0105]

[0106] At a depth of 20-60 cm, the available potassium content in all treatment groups was not significantly different from that in the control (CK). At a depth of 0-20 cm, the available potassium content in the CK group was significantly lower than that in the other treatment groups. S2 (363.69 mg / kg) and S3 (369.67 mg / kg) showed the greatest increase. These results indicate that microbial inoculants significantly increased the available potassium content in the topsoil (0-20 cm).

[0107] 6. The effects of microbial inoculants on the leaves of orchard fruit trees

[0108] Table 7 Effects of microbial inoculants on orchard leaves.

[0109]

[0110] The differences between the groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05), indicating that the application of microbial agents did not have a significant impact on the physiological characteristics of fruit tree leaves.

[0111] 7. Effects of microbial inoculants on fruit morphology

[0112] Table 8 Effects of microbial inoculants on apple morphology

[0113]

[0114] The data show that the transverse and longitudinal diameters of fruit treated with C were significantly higher than those treated with CK, while other treatments showed no significant differences from CK. However, there were no significant differences in fruit shape index among all treatments, therefore it can be concluded that C can increase the overall size of apples.

[0115] 8. Impact on quality

[0116] Table 9. Effects of microbial inoculants on the internal quality of apples

[0117]

[0118] There were no significant differences in firmness, titratable acidity, and solids-acid ratio among the groups, indicating that the microbial agent had a limited impact on apple ripeness and acidity. The significantly increased soluble solids content of group C may mean that, under similar acidity conditions, the soluble solids content of apples in this group was relatively high, thus enhancing the flavor and texture of the fruit.

[0119] 9. The impact of microbial inoculants on apple yield

[0120] Table 10. Effects of microbial inoculants on apple yield

[0121]

[0122] Data shows that group C exhibited a significant advantage in both single fruit weight and yield, with a single fruit weight reaching 271.62g and a yield of 67.8t / hm². Although groups B and D showed some improvement in single fruit weight and yield, they were still lower than group C.

[0123] In this experiment, treatment C performed best, with a single fruit weight of 271.62 g and a yield of 67.8 t / hm², significantly superior to other treatment groups. This treatment effectively increased soil organic matter and available phosphorus content, improved soil structure, reduced bulk density, and thus enhanced soil moisture and nutrient retention capacity, while avoiding the negative effects of excessive application, achieving a good balance. In conclusion, the application of microbial inoculants significantly improved apple yield and quality, and the recommended application rate is 30 kg / hm².

[0124] In summary, this compound microbial agent is a highly efficient biocontrol and growth-promoting strain for apples. The strain is simple to cultivate, has a significant biocontrol effect, is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and is not prone to developing drug resistance.
