Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of microbial agents, and particularly relates to a bacterial strain antagonizing multiple pathogenic fungi of potatoes and promoting growth of the potatoes and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Potato is the fourth largest food crop in the world, and is a crop for food, feed and industrial raw material. In order to maximize the utilization of arable land and obtain the highest economic benefit, farmers often adopt the continuous cropping system. However, long-term continuous cropping is easy to cause soil degradation, and the problem of continuous cropping obstacles is highlighted. Especially, continuous planting of a single crop causes imbalance of soil nutrients and microbial community structure, which is not conducive to crop growth, and is more susceptible to diseases, threatening food security.

[0003] Soil-borne diseases usually have multiple pathogenic fungi coexisting in the soil. When the conditions are suitable, a certain pathogenic fungus accumulates to a certain amount, and then the disease occurs. The soil-borne diseases in the main potato producing areas in China mainly include early blight, fusarium wilt, dry rot and leaf / stem spot diseases. The pathogenic fungi mainly include Alternaria, which infects stems and leaves, and Fusarium, which infects tubers. Didymella glomerata is a host-specific pathogenic fungus, which was previously considered to be a weak pathogenic fungus. However, in recent years, the disease caused by this fungus has been found in corn, kiwi, schisandra, cornus, and sophora in China, and has caused a certain reduction in yield. This strain was isolated from potato disease spots for the first time in the test area. Therefore, it is of great importance to obtain a biocontrol strain antagonizing multiple pathogenic fungi for the development of potato industry under the background of climate change. In addition, promoting plant growth is conducive to improving its stress resistance, and thus reducing the disease incidence. Therefore, it is of great significance to obtain a biocontrol strain antagonizing multiple pathogenic fungi and promoting growth for solving potato soil-borne diseases, increasing yield and efficiency.

[0004] Bacillus is the most widely used bacteria in agriculture, including bacteria used to antagonize pathogenic bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, bacteria used to promote crop growth, such as Bacillus megaterium. Among them, Bacillus wiedmannii has the effect of degrading soil insoluble inorganic phosphorus and promoting the absorption of phosphorus by crops, and it has also been reported that it can dissolve potassium, produce siderophores, and produce auxin IAA. Therefore, this strain is often used for crop growth promotion or soil improvement, and its application in inhibiting soil-borne diseases is less. There are reports that it can inhibit the brown root rot (Phellinus lamaensis) and anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) of tea trees, the wilt (Pantoea ananatis) of strawberries, and the rot (Fusarium oxysporum) of Gastrodia elata. However, there is no report on the inhibition of early blight, dry rot, and leaf / stem spot of potatoes, especially Bacillus wiedmannii that promotes growth while inhibiting pathogenic fungi Alternaria solani, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti, and Didymella glomerata. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a strain of Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34 that can antagonize multiple pathogenic fungi of potatoes while promoting growth, and its application.

[0006] The strain of Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34 that can antagonize multiple pathogenic fungi of potatoes while promoting growth is deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, located at No. 1, Beichen West Road, Beijing, China, on November 11, 2024, and has the accession number CGMCC No. 32580.

[0007] The application of the strain of Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34 that can antagonize multiple pathogenic fungi of potatoes while promoting growth is used to prepare a bacterial agent that can antagonize pathogenic fungi of potatoes.

[0008] Further, the pathogenic fungi of potatoes are pathogenic bacteria of soil-borne diseases.

[0009] Further, Alternaria solani, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti, and Didymella glomerata.

[0010] Further, the Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34 has an inhibition rate of 3-63% on Alternaria solani, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti and Botryodiplodia theobromae.

[0011] Further, the Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34 has a higher inhibition rate of 62-63% on Botryodiplodia theobromae.

[0012] The strain of the application can be applied to promote the growth of potatoes.

[0013] The application has the following advantages:

[0014] The application provides a Bacillus wiedmannii Bw34, which is isolated from potato continuous cropping soil in an extreme environment, has improved growth-promoting ability and certain antibacterial ability, and is more targeted, stronger in inhibition and more stable in field effect on potato soil-borne diseases. The Bw34 can antagonize pathogenic fungi such as Alternaria solani, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti and Botryodiplodia theobromae isolated from potato diseased strains. The Bw34 has a certain inhibitory effect on the pathogenic fungi of potato early blight, such as Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, the pathogenic fungi of dry rot, such as Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium equiseti, and the pathogenic fungi of stem / leaf spot, such as Botryodiplodia theobromae, with an inhibition rate of 3-63%. The Bw34 has a higher inhibition rate of 62.18% on Botryodiplodia theobromae. In addition, the Bw34 has the functions of dissolving inorganic / organic phosphorus, producing proteinase, starch, cellulase, producing siderophore, indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellin (GA) and ACC deaminase (ACCD). Therefore, the Bw34 provides a high-quality strain for comprehensive prevention and control of potato soil-borne diseases, promotion of potato growth and nutrient absorption, and has application potential in solving potato soil-borne diseases.
