Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological control technology for agricultural diseases, specifically relating to a method for controlling root rot of Panax notoginseng based on ricinoleic acid. Background Technology
[0002] Sanqi ( Panax notoginseng (Burk.) FHChen), a plant belonging to the genus Panax in the family Araliaceae, has effects such as improving sleep, anti-depression, preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, anti-oxidation, and liver protection; however, root rot is the main disease affecting its production. Fusarium oxysporum Caused by pathogens such as spores. Current control mainly relies on chemical soil fumigation and broad-spectrum fungicides, but these agents can only suppress the disease in localized periods, and their efficacy is unstable. Furthermore, the areas surrounding Panax notoginseng cultivation in Yunnan are mostly karst topography, and with the long-term use of mining drainage, wastewater irrigation, and cadmium-containing pesticides, soil acidification, salinization, excessive chromium content, microecological imbalance, and excessive pesticide residues in medicinal materials have occurred, seriously affecting the yield, quality, and safety of Panax notoginseng. Crop rotation requires more than 30 years to be effective, making it difficult to implement in production; physical and agricultural measures are also limited in their effectiveness and promotion. Although there are reports of using biochar, Bacillus subtilis, or Penicillium scintillans for biological control, which can reduce the incidence of disease or promote plant growth to some extent, existing strains have a narrow antagonistic spectrum, weak colonization ability, and are greatly affected by the soil environment. There is also a lack of highly efficient, stable, and scalable biological control agents targeting multiple pathogen infections. Therefore, developing a new generation of biological control agents with broad-spectrum and long-lasting antagonistic activity against the main pathogens of Panax notoginseng root rot, as well as the ability to resist heavy metal chromium stress, improve rhizosphere microecology, and enhance plant systemic resistance has become a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the green cultivation of Panax notoginseng.
