Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pesticide-fertilizer composition technology, specifically to a bacteriophage pesticide-fertilizer composition targeting tobacco sickle root rot and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Tobacco is one of my country's important economic crops. Tobacco falc root rot is a soil-borne fungal disease caused by *Fusarium oxysporum*, and it occurs widely in all tobacco-growing areas of China. This disease primarily infects the tobacco root system, leading to root rot, browning of the vascular bundles, and subsequently wilting and yellowing of the plant. In severe cases, it can cause the entire plant to die, significantly reducing tobacco yield and quality. Statistics show that the incidence rate in severely affected fields can reach 30%-50%, with yield losses exceeding 20%, causing huge economic losses to the tobacco industry.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for controlling tobacco sickle root rot include chemical control, agricultural control, and biological control. Agricultural control measures, such as crop rotation and soil disinfection, are complex and time-consuming, making them difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale planting. Chemical agents, such as carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl, can suppress the disease in the short term, but long-term use can easily lead to drug resistance in pathogens, and residual chemicals can pollute the soil environment and harm human health, which does not meet the requirements of green agricultural development. Existing biological control methods mostly use biocontrol bacteria or bacteriophages alone, which have problems such as unstable efficacy and short duration of effect, and fail to be synergistically combined with the nutrients required for tobacco growth, making it difficult to achieve the dual goals of disease prevention and growth promotion at the same time.
[0004] Meanwhile, traditional tobacco fertilization mostly uses conventional nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers, which suffer from uneven nutrient release, low utilization rate, and inability to specifically address soil-borne diseases. Although some pesticide-fertilizer combinations attempt to combine bactericides with fertilizers, they suffer from poor compatibility between bactericides and nutrient components, easy decomposition and inactivation of active ingredients, and significant damage to beneficial microorganisms, failing to achieve synergistic effects in disease prevention, growth promotion, and soil improvement.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides a phage-based fertilizer composition targeting tobacco sickle root rot and its application, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

It exhibits strong targeting, leaves no residue, and does not induce resistance. The phage specifically recognizes and lyses the target Fusarium, without harming other beneficial microorganisms. It naturally dies off as the number of pathogens decreases, leaving no chemical residue and unlikely to induce resistance in pathogens. This achieves a synergistic effect of pesticide and fertilizer, effectively controlling root diseases and ensuring root health by protecting fertilizer. This significantly improves fertilizer utilization. The fertilizer promotes pesticide application, providing ample nutrition to promote robust tobacco plant growth and enhance its disease resistance. Combined with the external control provided by the phage, it creates a synergistic effect of both internal and external prevention. The effect is stable and rapid. Under suitable conditions, the phage can self-reproduce. This product rapidly increases the number of pathogens at disease sites, controlling pests faster than ordinary biological agents. It is easy to operate, cost-effective, and efficient: it can be applied directly using existing fertilization machinery, greatly reducing labor intensity and time costs, achieving true integrated application of pesticides and fertilizers with simplified operations. It provides pre-emptive control, creating a protective zone containing bacteriophages and nutrients in the soil before tobacco root development and disease occurrence, enabling earlier biological intervention and nutrient supply, resulting in better disease prevention and growth promotion effects, soil improvement, and ecological benefits. The addition of functional adjuvants helps improve the rhizosphere soil environment, promotes the construction of beneficial microbial communities, and achieves green and sustainable agricultural production.

Preparation steps: Except for adjusting the amount of each component according to the above ratio, the other process parameters are the same as in Example 1; Comparative Example 1: Compared with Example 1, only the mixing ratio of phage strains was changed. FoP1 strain and FoP2 strain were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:4. All other formulation components and preparation processes were the same as in Example 1. Comparative Example 2, compared with Example 1, removed the phage component, while the remaining formulation components and preparation process were the same as in Example 1, and it was just a conventional fertilizer; Comparative Example 3, compared with Example 1, removed the coated lysine from the nutrient components, and the nitrogen source was only the complex amino acid. The remaining formulation components and preparation process were the same as in Example 1. Comparative Example 4 used commercially available tobacco-specific fertilizer containing the chemical fungicide carbendazim, with an effective ingredient content of 20%. III. Performance Testing: The performance of the pesticide-fertilizer compositions prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested. The test items included the control effect on tobacco sickle root rot, tobacco growth indicators, and soil indicators. The test standards and methods are as follows: a. Control efficacy test: Referring to the "Guidelines for Field Efficacy Tests of Pesticides (I) Control of Tobacco Root Rot with Fungicides" (GB / T17980.102-2004), field trials were conducted in tobacco fields with a high incidence of tobacco sickle root rot. The plot area was 20m², with 3 replicates and randomized block design. The soil application method was used, with a dosage of 30 kg per mu, applied one week before tobacco transplanting; the disease incidence was investigated 60 days after transplanting, and the control effect was calculated. Prevention and control efficacy (%) = (Incidence rate in the blank control area - Incidence rate in the treatment area) / Incidence rate in the blank control area × 100%; No pesticides or fertilizers were applied to the blank control area; b. Growth index detection: 60 days after transplanting, 10 tobacco plants were randomly selected from each plot to measure plant height (accurate to 0.1 cm) and maximum leaf area (accurate to 0.1 cm²) using a leaf area meter. The above-ground fresh weight was weighed using an electronic balance (accurate to 0.1 g). The average value was calculated. c. Soil index testing: 60 days after application, soil samples were collected from the 0-20cm soil layer of each plot. Soil pH was determined according to "Soil Testing Part 2: Determination of Soil pH" (NY / T1121.2-2006); the number of Bacillus subtilis in the soil was determined according to "Methods for Determination of Soil Microbial Biomass" using the plate count method. d. Safety testing: Observe whether pesticide damage symptoms appear during the tobacco growth process, including yellowing, wilting, and deformity, and assess product safety; Performance data for the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1: IV. Analysis Conclusion: As shown in Table 1, the phage fertilizer compositions prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention exhibit excellent performance in controlling tobacco sickle root rot and promoting tobacco growth, and are also friendly to the soil microenvironment. Please refer to Table 1. The control efficacy of Examples 1-3 is all above 80%, with Example 3 achieving the highest control efficacy of 88.4%. However, the control efficacy of Comparative Example 1 dropped to 73.0% because the mixing ratio of bacteriophage strains exceeded the 1:1-3 range specified in this invention, indicating that a reasonable ratio of bacteriophage strains is key to ensuring control efficacy. The control efficacy of Comparative Example 2 (without bacteriophage components) was only 26.8%, significantly lower than the examples, verifying the specific lytic effect of bacteriophage components on Fusarium oxysporum. The control efficacy of Comparative Example 4 (commercially available chemical fertilizer) was 76.7%, lower than the examples of this invention, and showed slight phytotoxicity, while the examples of this invention showed no phytotoxicity and were safer. Please refer to Table 1. The tobacco plant height, maximum leaf area, and aboveground fresh weight of Examples 1-3 were significantly higher than those of the comparative example and the blank control. Among them, the plant height of Example 3 reached 60.2 cm and the aboveground fresh weight reached 192.4 g / plant. Due to the removal of the coating lysine, the nutrient release of Comparative Example 3 was uneven, and its growth indicators were slightly lower than those of Example 1, indicating that the addition of coating lysine can improve nutrient utilization and promote tobacco growth. The growth indicators of Comparative Example 2 (with only conventional fertilizer) were poor, which verifies the synergistic growth-promoting effect of the nutrient components of this invention. Please refer to Table 1. The soil pH in Examples 1-3 was maintained at 6.7-6.9, which is suitable for tobacco growth, and the number of Bacillus subtilis in the soil was all above 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. 6 The cfu / g soil concentration was significantly higher than that of Comparative Example 4, indicating that the composition of the present invention does not damage the beneficial microbial community in the soil and can improve the soil micro-ecological environment; while Comparative Example 4 resulted in a reduction in the number of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, and long-term use could easily cause soil compaction. In summary, the formulation component ranges of Examples 1-3 of this invention are scientifically reasonable, and the synergistic effect of each component is significant. Among them, the formulation and process parameters of Example 1 are balanced, which has both excellent prevention and control effects and growth promotion effects, and the preparation cost is relatively low, making it the optimal example. Based on this, the phage fertilizer composition targeting tobacco sickle root rot proposed in this invention can be widely used in tobacco planting to prevent and control tobacco sickle root rot and promote tobacco plant growth. Specific application methods include soil application, furrow application, and root irrigation, which can be adapted to different planting scenarios and cultivation modes. It can effectively solve the problem of high incidence of tobacco sickle root rot, improve tobacco yield and quality, and has significant economic and ecological benefits.
