Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial agents, and in particular to a composite microbial agent and its application in the prevention and treatment of tree root diseases. Background Art
[0002] Root diseases of trees have always been a major problem that has plagued forestry production. They not only affect tree growth, but can also lead to large-scale tree death, causing huge economic losses and ecological damage. Traditional prevention and control methods mainly rely on chemical pesticides. Although they can control diseases in the short term, long-term use will cause pathogens to develop drug resistance, destroy the soil microecological balance, and pollute the environment. In recent years, biological control has received widespread attention due to its environmental friendliness and strong sustainability.
[0003] In the prior art, single microbial agents such as Trichoderma or Bacillus have been used for the prevention and control of forest diseases. However, these single microbial agents often have problems such as narrow prevention and control spectrum, short duration, and poor environmental adaptability. Some studies have tried to mix multiple microorganisms, but they are only simple physical mixing and fail to give full play to the synergistic effect of each component. In addition, most of the existing microbial agents ignore the overall regulation of the rhizosphere micro-ecosystem, making it difficult to achieve long-term and stable prevention and control effects. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention innovatively develops a composite microbial agent and its application in the prevention and treatment of forest root diseases. The agent not only contains optimized and screened Trichoderma and Bacillus, but also adds functional auxiliary ingredients such as seaweed extract, chitosan, and humic acid. This unique combination design fully considers the synergistic effect between microorganisms, plant-microorganism interactions, and the overall regulation of the rhizosphere micro-ecosystem.
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a composite microbial agent, characterized in that it comprises the following components by weight:
[0006] Trichoderma (Trichodermaharzianum) ATCC 2084715-25;
[0007] Bacillus subtilis ATCC 605110-20 copies;
[0008] 5-10 parts of seaweed extract;

[0028] d) mixing EDTA chelate and sodium molybdate in a ratio of Fe:Mn:Zn:Cu:Mo=5:2:2:1:0.1, dissolving in deionized water, and adjusting the total concentration to 1% (w / v);
[0029] (3) Preparation of bacterial agents:

[0047] d) Regular re-application: Re-application every 3-4 months, the dosage is 1 / 2 of the initial application amount.
[0048] The core innovation of the present invention is that: first, by optimizing the combination of microorganisms, a broad-spectrum inhibition of multiple forest root pathogens is achieved. Secondly, the addition of functional auxiliary ingredients not only provides nutritional support for microorganisms, but also directly participates in the induction of plant defense responses. Thirdly, the microbial agent can significantly improve the structure of rhizosphere microbial communities and increase the diversity and abundance of beneficial microorganisms. Finally, by promoting root development and enhancing plant stress resistance, comprehensive protection and growth promotion of forests are achieved.
[0049] From a microbiological perspective, the Trichoderma and Bacillus in the present invention complement each other in terms of metabolites and mechanisms of action. Trichoderma mainly dissolves the cell walls of pathogens by secreting hydrolases such as chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase, while Bacillus produces a variety of antibiotics and volatile organic compounds. This synergistic effect not only expands the antibacterial spectrum, but also reduces the risk of pathogens developing resistance.
[0050] From the perspective of plant pathology and forestry, the bacterial agent of the present invention enhances the disease resistance of trees through multiple mechanisms. Ingredients such as alginic acid and mannitol in seaweed extract can act as plant immune inducers to activate systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR). Chitosan, through its special molecular structure, can bind to the chitin receptors of plant cell walls and trigger a series of defense responses.
[0051] From the perspective of soil science and ecology, the present invention not only focuses on the direct inhibition of pathogens, but also pays more attention to the overall regulation of the rhizosphere micro-ecosystem. The addition of humic acid improves the soil structure, increases the effectiveness of nutrients, and creates good conditions for the colonization of beneficial microorganisms. This ecological regulation method achieves long-term improvement of the rhizosphere environment and provides continuous protection for forests.
[0052] From the perspective of biotechnology, the preparation method of the present invention fully considers the characteristics and interactions of each component. For example, by optimizing the fermentation conditions and the selection of protective agents, the activity of the microorganisms during the preparation and storage process is guaranteed. The addition of the trace element complex provides the necessary nutrients for the metabolism and reproduction of the microorganisms.
[0053] From the perspective of pesticide science, this invention breaks through the limitations of traditional chemical pesticides and provides a green and sustainable disease prevention and control solution. Compared with chemical pesticides, this biological agent not only avoids environmental pollution and drug resistance problems, but also improves the overall health of forests by improving plant growth conditions.
[0054] The beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0055] 1. Broad-spectrum and highly effective disease prevention and control: It has a significant inhibitory effect on a variety of forest root pathogens and has a broad prevention and control spectrum.
[0056] 2. Long-lasting and stable effect: By regulating the rhizosphere micro-ecosystem, a long-term and stable disease prevention effect is achieved.
[0057] 3. Dual role in promoting growth: It not only prevents and controls diseases, but also significantly promotes the growth and root development of trees.
[0058] 4. Enhanced stress resistance: Improved the resistance of trees to abiotic stresses, such as drought resistance and salt tolerance.
[0059] 5. Environmentally friendly: It avoids the negative impact of chemical pesticides and conforms to the concept of sustainable development.
[0060] 6. Wide applicability: It can be used in multiple stages such as seed treatment, seedling transplanting and forest management.
[0061] 7. Significant economic benefits: By improving the survival rate of trees, promoting growth and effectively preventing diseases, it brings considerable economic benefits to forestry production.
[0062] In summary, the composite microbial agent of the present invention has significant innovation and practical value in the field of forest root disease prevention and control, and provides a new efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for forestry production.

[0155] This example demonstrates the application effect of the composite microbial agent in pine seed treatment.
[0156] Experimental methods:
[0157] Fresh seeds of Pinus elliottii were selected as experimental materials. The seeds were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 100 seeds in each group. The seeds of the treatment group were soaked in a 1% suspension of the composite microbial agent prepared in Example 1 for 4 hours, while the seeds of the control group were treated with an equal amount of sterile water. The treated seeds were dried in the shade at 25°C and then sown into a pre-sterilized sand culture substrate.
[0158] After 30 days of cultivation under greenhouse conditions (temperature 25±2℃, relative humidity 70±5%), observe and record the following indicators:
[0159] 1. Germination rate (%);
[0160] 2. Seedling height (cm);
[0161] 3. Root length (cm);
[0162] 4. Root rot incidence (%);
[0163] result:
[0164] 1. Germination rate: 92% in the treatment group and 85% in the control group;
[0165] 2. Average seedling height: 8.5 cm in the treatment group and 7.2 cm in the control group;
[0166] 3. Average root length: 12.3 cm in the treatment group and 10.1 cm in the control group;
[0167] 4. Root rot incidence: 5% in the treatment group and 18% in the control group;
[0168] Result analysis:
[0169] The seeds treated with the composite microbial agent were significantly better than the control group in all indicators. The germination rate increased by 7 percentage points, the seedlings grew better, and the root system developed healthier. It is particularly noteworthy that the incidence of root rot in the treated group was greatly reduced, only 27.8% of the control group. This fully proves the significant effect of the composite microbial agent of the present invention in promoting seed germination, enhancing seedling vitality and preventing root diseases.
[0170] Application Example 2: Soaking treatment of seedling roots
[0171] This example demonstrates the application effect of the composite microbial agent in root treatment of Chinese fir seedlings before transplanting.
[0172] Experimental methods:
[0173] One-year-old Cunninghamia lanceolata seedlings were selected as experimental materials, with a seedling height of about 30 cm. The seedlings were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 50 plants in each group. The roots of the seedlings in the treatment group were soaked in a 0.5% composite microbial agent suspension prepared in Example 2 for 30 minutes, while the control group was treated with an equal amount of sterile water. The treated seedlings were immediately transplanted to a pre-prepared test plot.
[0174] The test plot is located in Sanming City, Fujian Province. The soil type is acidic red soil with a pH value of about 5.5. Conventional management measures were adopted during the test, and no additional pesticides or fertilizers were applied. Three months after transplanting, the following indicators were observed and recorded:
[0175] 1. Survival rate (%);
[0176] 2. Plant height increase (cm);
[0177] 3. Ground diameter growth (mm);
[0178] 4. Root biomass (g / plant);
[0179] 5. Incidence of wilt disease (%);
[0180] result:
[0181] 1. Survival rate: 96% in the treatment group and 88% in the control group;
[0182] 2. Average plant height increase: 18.5cm in the treatment group and 15.2cm in the control group;
[0183] 3. Average ground diameter growth: 3.2mm in the treatment group and 2.5mm in the control group;
[0184] 4. Average root biomass: 28.6 g / plant in the treatment group and 22.3 g / plant in the control group;
[0185] 5. Incidence of wilt disease: 3% in the treatment group and 12% in the control group;
[0186] Result analysis:
[0187] The Chinese fir seedlings treated with the composite microbial agent showed stronger adaptability and growth momentum after transplantation. The survival rate of the treated group was 8 percentage points higher than that of the control group, and the growth of plant height and ground diameter increased by 21.7% and 28% respectively. It is particularly noteworthy that the root biomass of the treated group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with an increase of 28.3%, which shows that the agent significantly promoted the development of the root system. At the same time, the incidence of wilt in the treated group was only 25% of that in the control group, which fully proved the excellent effect of the present invention in preventing root diseases of forest trees.
[0188] These two application examples clearly demonstrate the multiple advantages of the composite microbial agent of the present invention in actual forestry production. Whether in seed treatment or seedling transplanting stage, the agent shows significant growth promotion and disease prevention effects. This not only verifies the practical value of the present invention, but also provides strong experimental support for its application in large-scale forestry production. By improving the survival rate of trees, promoting growth and effectively preventing and controlling root diseases, the present invention is expected to bring significant economic and ecological benefits to forestry production.
[0189] Comparative Example 1: Single microbial preparation
[0190] This comparative example provides a microbial preparation containing only Trichoderma, which is used to compare the synergistic effect of the composite microorganisms in Example 1. The preparation comprises, by weight: Trichoderma harzianum ATCC 2084725 parts, perlite powder 70 parts, and corn cob powder 5 parts.
[0191] The preparation method comprises the following steps:
[0192] (1) First, Trichoderma ATCC 20847 was cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium at 24°C in the dark for 7 days. Subsequently, spores were eluted with 0.1% Tween-80 solution, passed through a 200-mesh sieve, and the spore concentration was adjusted to 1×10^9 CFU / mL.
[0193] (2) Next, pearlite powder with a particle size of 200 mesh and corn cob powder with a particle size of 40 mesh were mixed in a ratio of 14:1 and sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes.
[0194] (3) Then, add the bacterial suspension to the mixed carrier, stir evenly, and control the water content to 30%.
[0195] (4) Finally, the mixture was dried at 25°C until the moisture content was less than 10%, and then crushed through a 60-mesh sieve to obtain the final product.
[0196] Comparative Example 2: Composite microbial preparation without auxiliary ingredients
[0197] This comparative example is intended to verify the importance of auxiliary components in the composite microbial preparation, and is compared with Example 2. The preparation comprises, by weight: Trichoderma (Trichodermaharzianum) ATCC 2084725 parts, Bacillus subtilis (Bacillus subtilis) ATCC 605120 parts, perlite powder 45 parts, and corn cob powder 10 parts.
[0198] The preparation method is similar to that of Example 2, but the step of adding the auxiliary components is omitted.
[0199] Comparative Example 3: Low-dose trace element complex preparation
[0200] This comparative example is intended to verify the effect of the dosage of the trace element complex on the effect of the preparation, and is compared with Example 3. The components of the preparation are the same as those of Example 3, but the content of the trace element complex is reduced to 0.2 parts.
[0201] The preparation method is basically the same as that of Example 3, but when preparing the trace element complex, the total concentration is adjusted to 0.4% (w / v).
[0202] Comparative Example 4: High pH Humic Acid Preparation
[0203] This comparative example is intended to verify the effect of the pH value of humic acid on the effect of the preparation, and is compared with Example 4. The components of the preparation are the same as those of Example 4, but the pH value of the humic acid solution is adjusted to 7.0.
[0204] The preparation method is substantially the same as that of Example 4, but in the humic acid preparation step, the pH of the filtrate is adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH.
[0205] Comparative Example 5: Chitosan-free preparation
[0206] This comparative example is intended to verify the role of chitosan in inducing plant resistance, and is compared with Example 1. The components of the preparation are the same as those of Example 1, but chitosan is removed and the content of perlite powder is increased accordingly.
[0207] The preparation method is substantially the same as that of Example 1, but the steps of preparing and adding the chitosan solution are omitted.
[0208] Comparative Example 6: High temperature drying preparation
[0209] This comparative example is intended to verify the effect of drying temperature on microbial activity and is compared with Example 2. The components of the preparation are exactly the same as those in Example 2.
[0210] The preparation method is basically the same as Example 2, but in the drying step, the temperature is increased to 40°C.
[0211] Through these six comparative examples, the effects of various key factors on the formulation effects of the present invention can be systematically evaluated. Comparative Example 1 highlights the synergistic effect of composite microorganisms; Comparative Examples 2 and 5 respectively verify the importance of auxiliary components and chitosan; Comparative Examples 3 and 4 explore the optimal parameters of trace elements and humic acid; and Comparative Example 6 focuses on the effect of the preparation process on product quality.
[0212] By comparing with the corresponding examples, the superiority of the present invention in terms of component ratio, preparation process and functionality can be clearly demonstrated. For example, it is expected that the single microbial preparation of Comparative Example 1 will be inferior to the composite preparation in terms of control spectrum and persistence; Comparative Examples 2 and 5 may perform poorly in terms of plant resistance induction and microbial colonization; Comparative Examples 3 and 4 may affect the growth of microorganisms and the stability of the product; and Comparative Example 6 may result in a significant reduction in microbial activity.
[0213] This systematic comparative design not only helps to verify the creativity of the present invention, but also provides valuable data support for further optimizing the product. Through these comparative experiments, we can have a deeper understanding of the synergistic mechanism between the components, and provide a solid scientific basis for the application of the present invention in the prevention and treatment of forest root diseases.
[0214] In order to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of the "composite microbial agent and its application in the prevention and treatment of forest root diseases" of the present invention, a series of experiments were designed to test its performance. These experiments covered multiple fields such as microbiology, plant pathology, forestry, soil science and ecology, aiming to fully demonstrate the core innovation and synergistic mechanism of the present invention.
[0215] Experiment 1: Analysis of the diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities
[0216] Experimental purpose: To evaluate the effect of compound microbial agents on the structure of rhizosphere microbial communities in forest trees.
[0217] Experimental methods:
[0218] Three-year-old saplings of Cunninghamia lanceolata were selected as experimental subjects. The bacterial agents of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were applied to different groups of rhizosphere soil of Cunninghamia lanceolata, with 3 replicates in each group. An untreated control group was set. 60 days after the application of the bacterial agent, rhizosphere soil samples were collected, and the 16S rRNA and ITS sequences of bacteria and fungi were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology.
[0219] Experimental results:
[0220] Table 1. Effects of different treatments on the diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities of Chinese fir
[0221]
[0222] Results analysis: The Shannon diversity index of Examples 1-4 was significantly higher than that of the comparative example and the control group, indicating that the composite microbial agent can effectively increase the diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms. In particular, Example 2, the Shannon index of bacteria and fungi reached 5.01 and 3.89, respectively, showing the best microbial community structure. In addition, more beneficial microbial genera appeared in the Example group, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria Rhizobium and Azotobacter, which may be due to the addition of auxiliary ingredients that promoted the growth of these beneficial bacteria.
[0223] Experiment 2: Analysis of root morphology and physiological indicators
[0224] Experimental purpose: To evaluate the effects of complex microbial agents on the development and physiological state of tree roots.
[0225] Experimental methods:
[0226] One-year-old Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) seedlings were selected and treated with the bacterial agents of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 for 30 minutes by soaking the roots, 20 plants in each group, and an untreated control group was set up. After 90 days of cultivation under greenhouse conditions (25±2°C, relative humidity 70±5%), the root morphological parameters and physiological indicators were measured.
[0227] Experimental results:
[0228] Table 2. Effects of different treatments on root development and physiological indicators of Masson pine seedlings
[0229]
[0230] Results analysis: The root morphology and physiological indicators of Masson pine seedlings treated with Examples 1-4 were significantly better than those of the comparative example and the control group. Among them, Example 2 performed best, with a root length of 172.8 cm, an increase of 42.2% over the control group; the root surface area and the number of root tips increased by 41.4% and 49.1%, respectively. More importantly, the root vitality and SOD activity of Example 2 increased by 38.6% and 32.3%, respectively, indicating that the composite microbial agent not only promoted root growth, but also significantly enhanced the physiological activity and antioxidant capacity of the root system.
[0231] Experiment 3: Evaluation of the inhibitory effect on pathogens
[0232] Experimental purpose: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of compound microbial agents on common forest tree root pathogens.
[0233] Experimental methods:
[0234] Three common forest root pathogens were selected: pine wood nematode pathogenic nematode (Bursaphelenchusxylophilus), pine root rot pathogen (Heterobasidion annosum) and fir wilt pathogen (Fusariumoxysporum). The bacterial agents of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were inoculated with pathogens on PDA culture medium by plate confrontation culture method, and the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured after culturing at 28°C for 7 days.
[0235] Experimental results:
[0236] Table 3. Inhibitory effects of different treatments on pathogens in tree roots (diameter of inhibition zone, mm)
[0237] deal with B. xylophilus H. annosum F.oxysporum Example 1 18.5 22.3 20.7 Example 2 21.6 25.8 23.9 Example 3 20.4 24.5 22.8 Example 4 19.7 23.6 21.9 Comparative Example 1 12.3 15.6 14.2 Comparative Example 2 14.8 18.2 16.7 Comparative Example 3 15.6 19.1 17.5 Comparative Example 4 14.2 17.8 16.3 Comparative Example 5 13.9 17.3 15.8 Comparative Example 6 13.5 16.9 15.4 Comparison 0 0 0
[0238] Results analysis: Examples 1-4 all showed significant inhibitory effects on the three pathogens, among which Example 2 had the best inhibitory effect. The diameter of the inhibition zone for pine wood nematode pathogenic nematodes reached 21.6 mm, which was 38.5% higher than the closest comparative example 3. This result fully demonstrated the superiority of the composite microbial agent in preventing and controlling a variety of forest root diseases, which may be due to the synergistic effect between different microorganisms and the synergistic effect of auxiliary components.
[0239] Based on the above experimental results, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0240] 1. Microbial community optimization: The composite microbial agent of the present invention not only increases the diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms, but also promotes the colonization of beneficial microorganisms. This improved microbial community structure may be achieved through a variety of mechanisms, including mutualistic symbiosis between microorganisms, nutritional support provided by auxiliary ingredients, and improved rhizosphere microenvironment.
[0241] 2. Promotion of root development: The microbial agent significantly promoted the growth and development of the tree root system, especially increasing the root length, root surface area and number of root tips. This effect may be due to the growth hormones (such as auxin and cytokinin) produced by microorganisms and the improved soil structure and nutrient availability.
[0242] 3. Enhanced stress resistance: The increase in root vitality and SOD activity indicates that the treated trees have stronger stress resistance. This may be due to the fact that microorganisms induce plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), while chitosan and other ingredients are also directly involved in the plant's defense response.
[0243] 4. Broad-spectrum disease resistance: The significant inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogens proves that the present invention has a broad-spectrum disease prevention and control ability. This effect may be due to the combined effect of multiple mechanisms such as antibiotics produced by different microorganisms, competitive effects, and inducing plants to produce defense substances.
[0244] 5. Long-term sustainability: Improvements in microbial communities and healthy root development provide long-term protection and growth promotion for trees, an advantage that is difficult to achieve with chemical pesticides.
[0245] 6. Eco-friendliness: The present invention achieves disease prevention and control by adjusting the balance of microbial communities, avoiding the negative impact of chemical pesticides on the ecological environment, and is in line with the concept of sustainable development.
[0246] These results not only verify the effectiveness of the present invention, but also reveal some unexpected technical effects. For example, the composite microbial agent not only directly inhibits pathogens, but also enhances the overall health of trees by improving the entire rhizosphere micro-ecosystem. This "ecological regulation" method provides a new idea for forest disease prevention and control, and has the potential to become an effective alternative to chemical pesticides. In addition, the comprehensive improvement effect of the microbial agent on root morphology and physiology suggests that it may also have potential in improving the drought resistance, salt resistance and other abiotic stresses of trees, which opens up new possibilities for the present invention in a wider range of forestry applications.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
