Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural microbial biocontrol technology, specifically relating to an antibacterial compound derived from Bacillus belye and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Potatoes, as a high-yield tuber crop, possess multiple values, including food security, nutritional benefits, and industrial raw materials. However, they are severely threatened by soil-borne root rot diseases, necessitating the development of highly effective biocontrol agents to achieve green control and sustainable production. Potato root rot is mainly caused by pathogens of the genus *Fusarium* (*Fusarium*). Fusarium spp.) and Pythium ( Pythium Caused by pathogenic fungi (spp.), these soil-borne pathogens can survive in the soil for extended periods due to continuous cropping, infecting roots and causing yield reductions of 20%–70%. Currently, control still relies on chemical fungicides (such as tebuconazole and azoxystrobin), but long-term use has led to fungal resistance in pathogens (e.g., ...). Fusarium oxysporum The detection rate of benzimidazole-resistant strains reached 38%, and there was a risk of pesticide residues.
[0003] Currently, biological control is an important measure for controlling soil-borne diseases. Biocontrol agents prepared using antagonistic bacteria are not only environmentally friendly and inhibit the growth of pathogens, but also have the ability to promote crop growth, making them the best alternative to chemical agents.
