AI Technical Summary
Existing chemical pesticides pose environmental pollution and food safety threats when controlling plant parasitic nematodes. Furthermore, the types of existing biocontrol fungi and bacteria preparations are limited and their efficacy is unstable, making it difficult to effectively solve the problem of root-knot nematode infestation.
The strain, *Streptomyces virginiana* GZ2, was screened from soil samples from Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. It exhibits strong insecticidal activity and plant growth-promoting properties. It is used to control southern root-knot nematodes, pine wood nematodes, rice stem nematodes, and sweet potato stem nematodes. It can also synthesize the growth stimulant indoleacetic acid and the growth-promoting substance ironophilic acid.
It showed high mortality rates against a variety of plant parasitic nematodes, especially against the southern root-knot nematode, with a 48-hour corrected mortality rate of 99.3%. At the same time, it promoted plant growth, and the growth stimulant significantly improved crop growth. Its control efficacy was similar to that of the chemical nematicide thiazophos.
