Abstract
Description
ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing green yield and its application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of microorganisms, and in particular relates to a green ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield and its use. Background Art
[0002] Legume crops, including soybeans, peanuts, peas, broad beans, cowpeas, and alfalfa, are important sources of food and feed for humans. Global agriculture today faces numerous challenges in its pursuit of green and high-quality development. The development of the legume industry faces two common challenges: First, legumes like peanuts and soybeans are susceptible to contamination by highly toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins, which not only reduce quality and yield, but also pose a serious threat to human health and safety. Aflatoxin B1, for example, is 10 times more toxic than potassium cyanide and is classified as a Class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer. It contributes to 28.2% of liver cancer worldwide. Improving the quality, safety, and performance of legume products has long been a hot topic in the high-quality development of the legume agriculture sector.
[0003] Secondly, while legume crops like soybeans and peanuts form symbiotic nodules and fix nitrogen with soil rhizobia, these nodules are naturally few in number, their nitrogen fixation duration is short (typically, no nodules form and fix nitrogen in the first month of crop growth, and nodules begin to decay during the pod-filling or fruit-full stages), and their efficiency is low. Research on biological nitrogen fixation using rhizobia has a history of over 100 years, establishing the classically recognized AON theory—that plants self-regulate nodule number and growth while maintaining total energy conservation. Excessive nodulation inevitably comes at the expense of plant growth. Current approaches primarily rely on selecting and applying optimized rhizobia adapted to specific production environments. This approach is geographically limited and constrained by the AON theory, resulting in limited improvements in nodulation and nitrogen fixation efficiency, typically around 30%. Achieving a doubling of nodulation and nitrogen fixation efficiency while also significantly increasing growth (a challenge that defies the AON theory) is elusive. Improving the nodulation and nitrogen fixation efficiency of legumes like peanuts and soybeans remains a hotly debated and challenging issue internationally.
[0004] To address these challenges, the inventors' team, after over 20 years of continuous research, have successfully developed the ARC microbial agent, a green, yield-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing agent. This agent improves the quality of legume crops like soybeans and peanuts while simultaneously inducing efficient nodulation and nitrogen fixation, doubling their yields. The agent is simple to use, low-cost, and highly effective, boasting significant advantages: two fixes (nitrogen and carbon fixation), three increases (increased yield, efficiency, and safety), and five reductions (reduced toxicity, damage, weight, cost, and carbon emissions). This agent demonstrates its enormous potential for application and has been demonstrated and validated in field trials across major soybean, peanut, and pea producing regions nationwide. This agent holds significant promise for boosting soybean oilseed production capacity and promoting green, low-carbon, and efficient production in my country. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing green yield. The agent is applied to the production of leguminous crops such as soybeans, peanuts, peas, broad beans, and cowpeas, achieving quality improvement, nitrogen fixation and green yield increase. It is simple to use, has significant social and ecological benefits, and is easy to promote and apply.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] The ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen, and increasing yield in a green manner has the effects of improving quality, fixing nitrogen, and increasing yield, thereby improving the quality of legume crop products. It has the functions of regulating and increasing the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of legume crops and increasing the number of nodules in legume crops. It contains all four gene sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 1-4.
[0008] According to the above scheme, the quality-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing, green, and yield-increasing ARC microbial agent can improve the quality of leguminous crop products by increasing the content of one or more nutritional functional components such as protein, glutamic acid, peanut resveratrol, and soy isoflavones.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen, and increasing green yield has a mitigating effect, that is, a control effect, on one or more soil-borne diseases such as peanut fruit rot, soybean greening, white rot of legumes, bacterial wilt, root rot, and sclerotinia. The agent has a harm reduction effect on one or more soil-borne diseases such as peanut fruit rot, soybean greening, white rot of legumes, bacterial wilt, root rot, and sclerotinia, with a reduction rate of at least 30%, and preferably over 80%.
[0010] According to the above scheme, the quality-improving, nitrogen-fixing, green, and yield-increasing ARC microbial agent can reduce the spots on the peanut fruit surface.
[0011] According to the above scheme, the green ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield significantly reduces the level of aflatoxin and improves the quality and safety level.
[0012] While the aforementioned ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen and green yields is not itself a rhizobium, it can simultaneously regulate and increase the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of legume crops, increase the number of nodules formed in legume crops, and enhance nitrogenase activity per plant. This agent can promote early nodulation and prolong the duration of nodulation and nitrogen fixation in legume crops such as peanuts and soybeans. It can also increase the yield per unit area and the total biomass of legume crops.
[0013] According to the above scheme, the DNA sequence genes shown in SEQ ID No. 1-4 may have a certain degree of variation in different strains. When the degree of variation is small, such as no more than 10% base variation, preferably no more than 5% base variation, and more preferably no more than 1% base variation, that is, the identity is greater than 90%, preferably greater than 95%, and more preferably greater than 99%, and when they have corresponding biological activities, these are called functional equivalents of the DNA sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 1-4, and containing these sequences is equivalent to containing the corresponding sequences of DNA sequences 1 to 4. When a microbial composition contains the DNA sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 to 4 or their functional equivalents and has the effects of improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield, and has the effects of regulating and increasing the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of leguminous crops and increasing the number of nodules in leguminous crops, it constitutes the ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield of the present invention.
[0014] The aforementioned DNA sequences 1-4 are specific sequences obtained after comparison with Genbank genome data. They are directly or indirectly related to the functions of the microbial agent of this patent. When containing all the gene sequences of the aforementioned DNA sequences 1-4, they have the effects of improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield, regulating and increasing the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of legume crops and increasing the number of nodules in legume crops, constituting the ARC microbial agent of the present invention for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield. These genes may vary to a certain extent in different strains. If the degree of variation is small, such as no more than 10% base variation, and the corresponding biological activity is maintained, containing them is equivalent to containing the gene sequences shown in SEQ ID Nos. 1-4.
[0015] The ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield in the present invention is a microbial composition. Through the synergistic effect of the various microorganisms in the microbial composition, the agent exerts the effect of improving quality and fixing nitrogen. When used in crop production, the agent has the effects of improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield. It has the effects of regulating and increasing the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of leguminous crops and increasing the number of nodules in leguminous crops. Although the agent itself is not a rhizobium, it can regulate and increase the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of leguminous crops, increase the number of nodules in leguminous crops, and improve the nitrogenase activity of individual plants; it can improve the yield level and total biomass of leguminous crop production; it can promote early nodulation of peanuts and soybeans, prolong the nodulation and nitrogen fixation time, and can also reduce spots on the surface of peanut fruits, significantly reduce the level of aflatoxin, and improve the quality and safety level.

[0057] Example 2: Sequencing of microbial agents
[0058] A sufficient number of samples were taken from the microorganisms or microbial compositions, i.e., the bacterial agents, listed in Table 2 of Example 1. Total DNA was extracted from these samples in sequence using conventional DNA extraction methods. The DNA sequences of these samples were then determined using conventional DNA sequencing methods. Finally, conventional analysis methods were used to compare the homology of the DNA sequences determined above with the gene sequences provided in this patent document. The analysis results are shown in Table 1.

[0061] Taking peanuts as an example, the steps for determining the quality-enhancing and nitrogen-fixing effects of the above-mentioned microbial agents are as follows.
[0062] The microbial agents 1 to 12 in Table 2 of Example 1 above were applied to the field along with the peanut sowing base fertilizer, or during the peanut growing season, with an application rate of greater than or equal to 80 billion viable bacteria per mu. A plot not applied with any of the above microbial agents was set up as a control, and conventional field management was used for all other plots. Continuous investigations were conducted after emergence; during the first 30 days after emergence, an investigation was conducted on whether nodules had formed in advance; during the flowering and needle-setting period, an investigation was conducted on the number, weight, and nitrogenase activity of nodules per plant; and 1 to 15 days before harvest, an investigation was conducted on the nodulation of peanut roots during maturity, i.e., whether the nodulation time had been extended. The field disease reduction effect, i.e., disease prevention and control effect, was investigated from the seedling stage to the harvest stage; and after harvest, an investigation was conducted on the total plant biomass, peanut yield, peanut quality, including protein, glutamic acid, peanut resveratrol, and the abundance of aflatoxin, to determine whether the peanuts had improved quality and safety.

[0068] Example 4: Determination of the Effect of Soybean Microbial Agent on Quality Improvement and Nitrogen Fixation
[0069] Taking soybean as an example, the steps for determining the quality improvement and nitrogen fixation effects of the above-mentioned microbial agents are described as follows.
[0070] Microbial agents 1-12 from Table 2 of Example 1 were applied to the field along with soybean sowing base fertilizer, or during the soybean growing season, at a cumulative application rate of 80 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 acre). A plot not treated with any of the microbial agents was set up as a control, while all other plots were managed using conventional field management. Continued surveys were conducted after seedling emergence. Early nodulation was investigated within the first 30 days after seedling emergence. Nodule number, nodule weight, and nitrogenase activity per plant were investigated during flowering and podding. Root nodulation during the mature soybean period was investigated 1-15 days before harvest to determine whether the nodulation time was prolonged. Field disease mitigation, i.e., disease control efficacy, was investigated from the seedling stage to the harvest stage. After harvest, total plant biomass, soybean yield, soybean quality, including protein, glutamic acid, soy isoflavones, and the abundance of aflatoxin were investigated to determine whether the soybeans improved quality and safety.
[0071] The above survey results are shown in Table 4. Combined with the sequencing results of Example 1, it is shown that microbial agents 1-12 simultaneously possess the following characteristics: 1) they contain all four genes in DNA sequences 1-4, and these gene sequences may have no more than 10% base variation among different strains; 2) the microbial agents can improve the quality of legume crop products by increasing the content of one or more nutritional functional components such as protein, glutamic acid, and soy isoflavones; 3) the microbial agents have a mitigating effect on one or more soil-borne diseases such as peanut fruit rot, soybean green disease, white rot of legumes, bacterial wilt, root rot, and sclerotinia, or have a control effect, or reduce peanut fruit surface spots, or significantly reduce aflatoxin levels, thereby improving quality and safety; 4) although not rhizobia themselves, the microbial agents can simultaneously regulate and increase the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere of legume crops, increase the number of nodules in legume crops, and thus increase the nitrogenase activity per plant; 5) the microbial agents can promote early nodulation and prolong the time of nodulation and nitrogen fixation in legume crops such as peanuts and soybeans; and 6) the microbial agents can increase the yield and total biomass of legume crops.
[0072] Table 4. Results of microbial inoculants on soybean quality improvement and nitrogen fixation
[0073] Does the microbial composition, i.e., the agent number, improve the quality? Does it have a preventive and control effect on soil-borne diseases such as soybean greening, root rot, and sclerotinia, or significantly improve the quality and safety level? Does it double the promotion of nodulation and nitrogen fixation, early nodulation, and extended nodulation and nitrogen fixation time? Does it significantly increase yield and total biomass?

[0074] The above-mentioned microbial agent can improve the quality of soybean products of leguminous crops - increasing the content of one or more nutritional functional ingredients in soybean products such as protein, glutamic acid, and soy isoflavones: the protein content is increased by more than 0.3%, and preferably can reach more than 3%; the content of essential amino acids for the human body such as leucine is increased by more than 0.2 mg / kg in total, and preferably can reach more than 0.3 mg / kg; the soy isoflavone content is increased by more than 50 mg / kg, and preferably can reach more than 200 mg / kg.
[0075] Example 5: Determination of the Effect of Microbial Agents on Quality Improvement and Nitrogen Fixation of Other Leguminous Crops
[0076] The sampling method and steps similar to those in Examples 3 and 4 were used to determine the effect of microbial agents on the quality improvement and nitrogen fixation of other legume crops such as peas, broad beans, cowpeas, and alfalfa, and the results were similar to those of peanuts and soybeans mentioned above, and similar to the results in Tables 3 and 4.
[0077] Part 2: Application of ARC microbial agents for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing green production
[0078] Example 6: Application of ARC Microbial Agent for Green Yield Improvement and Nitrogen Fixation - Improving the Quality and Safety of Leguminous Crop Products
[0079] 1. Application on peanuts: Mix the above-mentioned microbial agents 1 to 8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer respectively and apply them to the field through a seed drill. The application rate of the microbial agents is 80 billion to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. At the same time, set up a plot without any of the above-mentioned microbial agents as a control. The rest are managed by conventional field management. After the soybeans are harvested, peanut samples are collected using the national standard sampling method. (1) The abundance of aflatoxin-producing fungi in these samples is determined by the classic colony counting method. The reduction rate of the abundance of aflatoxin-producing fungi in soybeans is calculated, which is the control effect on aflatoxin-producing fungi. (2) The content of isoflavones, protein, and glutamic acid in soybeans is determined by the standard method, and the quality improvement level is calculated. (3) After the samples are placed under the same conditions for 6 months, the aflatoxin contamination level is determined by the national standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method, and the control effect on aflatoxin is calculated. These test results showed that agents 1-8 were all over 60% effective against aflatoxin-producing fungi in field peanuts and over 75% effective against aflatoxin in peanuts. They also significantly increased the resveratrol, protein, and essential amino acid content in peanuts: protein content increased by over 0.2%, the combined content of essential amino acids such as leucine increased by 0.15 mg / kg, and resveratrol content in peanuts increased by over 0.2 mg / kg. These results indicate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, has significantly improved the quality and safety of field peanuts.
[0080] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the field using drones at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 100 million saplings). Plots not treated with any of the agents served as controls, while all other plots were managed conventionally. After harvest, soybean samples were collected using national standard sampling methods and assayed for isoflavone, protein, and amino acid content using standard methods to calculate the improvement in soybean quality. These assays showed that the application of agents 1-8 significantly increased the isoflavone, protein, and essential amino acid content of soybeans grown in the field: protein content increased by over 0.3%, the total content of essential amino acids, including leucine, increased by over 0.2 mg / kg, and isoflavone content increased by over 50 mg / kg. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a quality-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing, and green yield-increasing agent, significantly improved soybean quality in the field.
[0081] 3. The application on other leguminous crops has achieved similar results as the above-mentioned application on soybeans.
[0082] Example 7: Use of ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing yield in green manner - promoting nodulation and nitrogen fixation in leguminous crops
[0083] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 acres) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. After the peanuts emerged, continuous investigations were conducted on the nodulation of peanut roots. These investigations revealed that during the flowering phase, the number of root nodules in peanuts treated with agents 1-8 increased by more than 2.6 times, and the nitrogenase activity per peanut plant increased by more than 8.5 times. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-improving, and yield-enhancing agent, significantly promoted the nodulation and nitrogen fixation of peanuts in the field.
[0084] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the fields via drone at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 100 million hectares). A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. Root nodulation was continuously monitored after soybean seedlings emerged. These surveys revealed that during the flowering phase, the number of root nodules in soybeans treated with agents 1-8 increased by over 2.5 times, and the nitrogenase activity per soybean plant increased by over 7.9 times. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-improving, and yield-enhancing agent, significantly promoted soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation in the field.
[0085] 3. When applied to other leguminous crops, it achieved similar effects in promoting nodulation and nitrogen fixation as in peanuts and soybeans.
[0086] Example 8: Application of ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield in green way - increasing the yield of leguminous crops
[0087] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 acres) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. At harvest time, peanuts were harvested from one mu (approximately 1.5 acres) of fields treated with the agents and the control plots. Calculations showed that the yield increase in the fields treated with agents 1-8 was over 10% to 15%, achieving a significant yield increase. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a quality-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing, green yield-increasing agent, significantly increased the yield per unit area of peanuts in the field.
[0088] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, the aforementioned agents 1-8 were evenly applied to the field via drone at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed conventionally. At harvest time, soybeans were harvested from one mu of land in each of the treatment and control plots. Calculations showed that peanut yield increases in the fields treated with agents 1-8 ranged from 15% to 20%, achieving significant yield increases. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a quality-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing, green, and yield-increasing agent, significantly increased soybean yields per unit area in the field.
[0089] 3. Application on Peas: Before sowing peas, the aforementioned agents 1-8 were evenly applied to the field by hand broadcasting, with a cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A plot without any of the agents was set up as a control, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. Yields were measured by weighing the pea seedlings and green pea pods at harvest time. The yield increases for both pea seedlings and pea pods treated with agents 1-8 ranged from 7% to 15%, achieving significant yield increases. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a quality-enhancing, nitrogen-fixing, green yield-increasing agent, significantly increased the yield per unit area of pea seedlings and pea pods in the field.
[0090] 4. Application on other legume crops: Application of agents 1-8 on legume crops such as broad beans yielded similar results to those on soybeans. Application of agents 1-8 on kidney beans and cowpeas yielded similar results to those on peas. Application of agents 1-8 on alfalfa also yielded similar results to those on peas.
[0091] Example 9: Use of ARC Microbial Agent for Green Yield Enhancement and Nitrogen Fixation - Recruiting Indigenous Rhizobia to Increase Rhizobium Abundance in the Rhizosphere Soil of Leguminous Crops
[0092] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. The application rate should be 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A control plot should be established where none of the agents were applied. All other plots should be managed conventionally. Peanut rhizosphere soil samples were collected during the fruiting period and before harvest, and metagenomic sequencing and big data analysis were performed. These findings showed that the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere soil of peanuts treated with agents 1-8 was significantly higher than that in the control group, increasing by 10% to 25%. These results indicate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, which improves nitrogen fixation and increases yield, has a significant effect in recruiting indigenous rhizobia, thereby increasing the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere soil of leguminous crops.
[0093] 2. When applied to other legume crops such as soybeans, peas, broad beans, cowpeas, and alfalfa, it achieved similar effects as the above-mentioned application on peanuts, which was to recruit indigenous rhizobia and thus increase the abundance of rhizobia in the rhizosphere soil of legume crops.
[0094] Example 10: Use of ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield: promoting early nodulation of leguminous crops and extending the time of nodulation and nitrogen fixation
[0095] 1. Application to Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 100 to 100 million acre) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all others were managed under conventional practices. Root nodulation was continuously monitored after the peanuts emerged. These results showed that root nodules formed approximately 7 to 9 days after emergence in peanuts treated with agents 1-8, more than 20 days earlier than the conventional estimate of 30 days. New nodules were still observed during the full-fruiting stage, with the presence of old, middle-aged, and young nodules, as well as infant nodules, coexisting in the field. Fresh, active nodules with nitrogenase activity were still observed at harvest, disproving the conventional wisdom that no new nodules form after the seed-filling stage and that all nodules are depleted by harvest. This significantly extends the duration of nodulation and nitrogen fixation. The above results show that the application of ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing green yield has achieved early nodulation of peanut legume crops and extended the nodulation and nitrogen fixation time.
[0096] 2. Application in Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, the aforementioned agents 1-8 were applied to the fields via drone at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. Plots not treated with any of the agents served as controls, while all other plots were managed under conventional practices. Continuous investigations of soybean root nodulation were conducted after seedling emergence. These investigations revealed that soybeans treated with agents 1-8 developed root nodules approximately 6-8 days after seedling emergence, approximately 20 days earlier than the conventional wisdom of around 30 days. New nodules were still observed during the grain-filling stage, with nodules from older, middle-aged, and young plants coexisting. Fresh, viable nodules with nitrogenase activity were still observed at harvest, disproving the conventional wisdom that soybeans no longer develop new nodules after the grain-filling stage and that all nodules have decayed by harvest. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, designed to improve quality, fix nitrogen, and increase yield, has achieved earlier nodulation and prolonged the duration of nodulation and nitrogen fixation.
[0097] 3. When applied to other leguminous crops, the above-mentioned microbial agents 1 to 8 achieved similar effects as those achieved in peanuts and soybeans, namely, promoting early nodulation and extending the nodulation and nitrogen fixation time of leguminous crops.
[0098] Example 11: Application of ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield in green manner - preventing premature aging of leguminous crops during maturity
[0099] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 100 million acre) should be achieved. A control plot without any of the above agents should be established, while all other plots should be managed conventionally. Once the peanuts reach maturity, continuous monitoring of leaf photosynthetic rates and senescence should be conducted. These results show that leaf photosynthetic rates in peanuts treated with agents 1-8 increased by 20% to 45% compared to the control, demonstrating a significant effect in preventing premature aging due to nutrient deficiency. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, yield-enhancing agent, can effectively prevent premature aging due to nutrient deficiency in leguminous crops during maturity.
[0100] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the fields via drone at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. After soybean seedlings emerged, continuous investigations were conducted on soybean root nodulation. These findings revealed that soybeans treated with agents 1-8 experienced increases in leaf photosynthetic rates of 25% to 50% or more, demonstrating a significant protective effect against premature aging caused by nutrient depletion. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, yield-enhancing agent, achieved earlier nodulation and prolonged the duration of nodulation and nitrogen fixation.
[0101] 3. Application in other leguminous crops: The application of fungal agents 1 to 8 in other leguminous crops such as peas, broad beans, and cowpeas has achieved similar effects as their application in peanuts and soybeans in preventing premature aging during maturity.
[0102] Example 12: Use of ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen and increasing yield in green manner - increasing the number of leguminous crop pods
[0103] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 acres) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. Peanut pod counts were surveyed at harvest time. These survey results showed that the number of viable pods in the peanuts treated with agents 1-8 increased by 15% to 25% compared to the control, significantly increasing pod count. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, can significantly increase peanut pod count.
[0104] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the fields using drones at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 100 to 100 million active bacteria per acre). A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed conventionally. Pod counts were surveyed at harvest time. These survey results showed that soybean pod counts increased by 10% to 20% or more in the soybeans treated with agents 1-8, significantly increasing pod count. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, can significantly increase soybean pod count.
[0105] 3. When applied to other leguminous crops such as peas, broad beans, kidney beans, and cowpeas, it achieved a similar effect as the above-mentioned application on peanuts and soybeans, which significantly increased the number of pods.
[0106] Example 13: Use of the ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen, and increasing yield – increasing leguminous crop pod plumpness and reducing pod shrinkage
[0107] 1. Application on Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 acres) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed using conventional methods. At harvest, the peanut pods were surveyed and the pod shriveling rate calculated. These survey results showed that the application of agents 1-8 significantly improved pod plumpness and reduced pod shriveling rate by over 7%. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, significantly increased peanut pod plumpness and reduced pod shriveling rate.
[0108] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the field using drones at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed conventionally. At harvest, soybean pods were surveyed and pod shriveling rates calculated. These survey results showed that soybeans treated with agents 1-8 showed significantly improved pod plumpness and a reduction in pod shriveling rates of over 6%. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, significantly increased soybean pod plumpness and reduced pod shriveling rates.
[0109] 3. The application of microbial agents 1 to 8 on other leguminous crops such as peas, broad beans, kidney beans, and cowpeas achieved similar effects as their application on peanuts and soybeans, increasing the plumpness of peanut pods and reducing the rate of shrunken pods.
[0110] Example 14: Use of the ARC microbial agent for improving quality, fixing nitrogen, and increasing yield in a green manner - promoting early flowering and pod formation in leguminous crops
[0111] 1. Application to Peanuts: Mix the aforementioned agents 1-8 with the peanut seeding base fertilizer and apply them to the field using a seed drill. A cumulative application rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 acres) was achieved. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed conventionally. After the peanuts emerged, continuous surveys were conducted to analyze the flowering and pod setting times of the treated and control peanuts. These survey results showed that peanuts treated with agents 1-8 flowered and pod set at least two days earlier. These results demonstrate that the application of the ARC microbial agent, a green, nitrogen-fixing, and yield-enhancing agent, significantly promotes earlier flowering and pod setting in peanuts.
[0112] 2. Application on Soybeans: Before soybean sowing, agents 1-8 were applied to the fields via drone at a cumulative rate of 80 to 100 billion viable bacteria per mu. A control plot was established without any of the agents, while all other plots were managed conventionally. After soybean seedlings emerged, continuous surveys were conducted to analyze the flowering and pod setting times of the treated and control soybeans. These survey results showed that soybeans treated with agents 1-8 flowered and pod set at least two days earlier.

[0189] Example 37: Use of ARC Microbial Agent for Quality Improvement, Nitrogen Fixation, and Green Yield Increase - Preparation of Quality Improvement, Nitrogen Fixation, and Coupled Microbial-Rhizobium Fertilizer
[0190] Based on the dosage of rhizobium fertilizer and a minimum of 80 billion viable bacteria per mu of land for the ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and green yield, the rhizobium fertilizer was mixed with ARC microbial agents 1 to 8 for improving nitrogen fixation and green yield, and then physically mixed to create eight types of nitrogen fixation-enhancing coupled microbial-rhizobium fertilizers 1 to 8. These rhizobium fertilizers, also known as rhizobium agents, can be purchased commercially or isolated from fresh leguminous nodules and then cultured.
[0191] The eight nitrogen-enhancing, coupled microbial-rhizobium fertilizers 1-8 were used as seed fertilizers in leguminous crops such as peanuts and soybeans at sowing. Fields treated with the same rhizobium fertilizers served as controls, and ongoing surveys were conducted after sowing. These survey results showed that the eight nitrogen-enhancing, coupled microbial inorganic-organic compound fertilizers 1-8 significantly promoted nodulation and nitrogen fixation, increasing nodule number by more than three times, nitrogenase activity per plant by more than three times, and yield per unit area by more than 6% to 26%, achieving significant yield increases. These findings demonstrate the key characteristics of the ARC microbial inoculants for nitrogen-enhancing, green, and yield-increasing properties described in the aforementioned examples.
[0192] The above results show that the ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing green yield can be used to prepare the coupled microbial-rhizobium fertilizer for improving nitrogen fixation and having the effects of both rhizobium fertilizer and ARC microbial agent for improving nitrogen fixation and increasing green yield.
