Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a Bacillus belye inoculum agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Fusarium wilt of tomato is a systemic soil-borne disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. The pathogen infects the roots, blocks the vascular bundles and secretes fusarin toxins, causing yellowing, wilting and even death of tomato plants. In continuous cropping, the incidence of this disease often reaches more than 30%, and in severely affected areas, it can lead to total crop failure. Currently, production mainly relies on chemical pesticides such as hymexazol and carbendazim for root irrigation control. However, long-term chemical control has led to a series of problems, including increased pathogen resistance, soil microecological imbalance, excessive pesticide residues in agricultural products, and environmental pollution. Utilizing beneficial microorganisms for biological control is an inevitable trend for achieving green and sustainable agricultural development.
[0003] Bacillus spp. has become the mainstream species for biological control agents due to its rapid reproduction rate, strong resistance (spore production), and ability to produce a variety of secondary metabolites. However, existing Bacillus products used to control tomato wilt generally have the following drawbacks: unstable field efficacy; many strains show significant antagonistic effects under laboratory conditions, but their efficacy is greatly reduced in complex field soil environments due to poor colonization and weak competitiveness; narrow spectrum of inhibition; existing products are mostly targeted at single diseases and cannot address soil-borne diseases such as root rot and bacterial wilt that occur simultaneously, increasing farmers' pesticide costs and management difficulties; and insignificant growth-promoting effects; most strains have single functions and lack the ability to produce growth-promoting substances such as indoleacetic acid (IAA) and siderophores, making it difficult to achieve integrated "prevention-treatment-cultivation" treatment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a biocontrol strain with strong colonization ability, broad antibacterial spectrum, and growth-promoting function, and to establish a set of efficient and stable methods for the preparation and application of the bacterial agent. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a new strain of Bacillus vesiculus with stable genetic traits, excellent control efficacy against tomato wilt, and broad-spectrum antagonistic activity. It also provides liquid fermentation and solid-state fermentation processes for this strain, as well as its application in controlling tomato wilt and improving tomato yield and quality.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for preparing Bacillus vesiculosus inoculum includes primary fermentation seed culture, secondary fermentation seed culture, post-treatment, and final mixing steps, as detailed below: 1.

[0009] 4. Final Mixing (1) Bentonite pretreatment Sodium-based bentonite was dried at 105-110℃ for 1.8-2.2h, and then autoclaved at 120-125℃ for 30-35min to obtain sterile bentonite. Deionized water was added to the sterile bentonite, and the mixture was stirred at 58-62℃ and 280-310rpm for 27-35min. Polyaluminum chloride aqueous solution was added, and the addition time was controlled at 40-45min. After the addition was completed, the mixture was stirred at 64-66℃ for 2.0-2.3h, and then the temperature was lowered to 44-46℃. Chitosan solution was added, and the mixture was stirred for 45-50min. Disodium EDTA was added, and the mixture was stirred for 20-25min. The pH of the system was controlled at 6.8-7.2 throughout the process. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10-12h, and then dried after centrifugation to obtain pretreated bentonite. The sodium-based bentonite has a particle size of 180-200 mesh and a CEC ≥ 85 mmol / 100g; The polyaluminum chloride aqueous solution is a mixture of polyaluminum chloride and deionized water, with a mass-to-volume ratio of 5-6 g:100 mL.

[0011] A Bacillus bellis inoculum agent was prepared using the aforementioned preparation method.
[0012] Application of a Bacillus vesiculosus inoculant, specifically the application of Bacillus vesiculosus in tomato cultivation.
[0013] This invention employs a three-stage culture process for Bacillus belyssus. First, primary activation restores the physiological activity of the bacteria. Then, a secondary culture medium rich in organic nitrogen, trace elements, and amino acids rapidly increases the bacterial count, allowing the strain to adapt to the fermentation environment. In the tertiary liquid fermentation stage, zinc ions and proline are added to regulate the strain's metabolism, significantly improving its storage tolerance and environmental stress resistance. In the solid-state fermentation stage, calcium carbonate and diatomaceous earth provide loose and breathable material, while sodium alginate helps retain moisture, achieving high-density accumulation of the bacteria. In the final mixing step, the solid-state fermentation components and... The liquid fermentation inoculant is mixed with pretreated bentonite, specifically sodium-based bentonite, which is sterilized at high temperature and then cross-linked with polyaluminum chloride and pretreated with chitosan. The layered structure is expanded to form a porous adsorption carrier, increasing the specific surface area of the carrier, firmly adsorbing and encapsulating the spore-forming inoculant, and isolating it from external stimuli. Tea saponin and polyethylene glycol enhance wettability and permeability, while potassium humate serves as a nutrient component. This results in a compound inoculant with strong stability and high viable bacteria retention rate, effectively preventing tomato wilt, improving nutrient utilization, thereby increasing yield and enhancing the flavor and quality of tomatoes.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects: 1. The Bacillus belysinian agent prepared by this invention has an effective viable count of 15.1-16.4 billion CFU / g.

When the Bacillus berberis inoculant prepared by this invention is used in tomato cultivation, the tomato plant height is 241.8-259.8cm and the root length is 34.8-37.4cm; 4. When the Bacillus berberis inoculant prepared by this invention is used in tomato cultivation, the tomato yield per mu is 4823.4-4981.7 kg, the soluble solids content is 5.21-5.56%, and the vitamin C content is 19.28-20.96 mg / 100g.

[0030] Performance testing The viability of Bacillus belychnophorus inoculants prepared in Examples 1-5 was periodically tested at room temperature, and the number of viable bacteria was determined according to GB 20287-2006 standard for agricultural microbial inoculants; the results are as follows:
[0031] The above experimental results clearly show that the Bacillus belye prepared in Examples 1-3 have strong viability and the rate of bacterial count decline is significantly lower than that of the comparative examples. After 12 months of storage at room temperature, the bacterial survival rates of Examples 1-3 reached 55.6%, 58.5%, and 57.7%, respectively, all of which are stably higher than the 50% threshold. In contrast, the bacterial agents prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had a survival rate of only 32.6% and 48.3% after 12 months, respectively, which are significantly lower. The high viable bacterial count during the shelf life can ensure the effective colonization during field application and avoid the problem of unstable efficacy caused by a significant decrease in bacterial count during storage.
[0032] Application performance The Bacillus berberis inoculant prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was used to conduct field control trials of tomato wilt disease. The trial sites were selected in greenhouses in the main tomato-growing area of Shouguang City, Shandong Province, where tomato wilt disease was more severe. The inoculant was applied at a rate of 5 kg / mu in the planting furrow at the tomato transplanting stage. The tomato variety was Provence and the application method was basal application. The negative control was no treatment, and the positive control was the existing chemical control agent 30% hymexazol aqueous solution purchased from Tianjin Hanbang Plant Protection Agent Co., Ltd., diluted 600 times, applied to the roots, 200-300 mL per plant, once every 7 days, for 2 consecutive applications. Throughout the entire growth period of tomatoes, observe the growth of tomatoes and the occurrence of tomato wilt disease, count plant height and root length, and after the tomatoes are harvested, count the yield per acre, and test the soluble solids content and vitamin C content of tomatoes. The severity of tomato wilt disease is divided into 5 levels. Grade 0: Disease-free, plant growing normally; Grade 1: Less than 1 / 4 of the leaves are yellow and slightly wilted; Grade 2: 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the leaves are wilted and yellow, and the base of the stem is slightly browned; Grade 3: 1 / 2-3 / 4 of the leaves are wilted, and the vascular bundles are noticeably browned; Level 4: The entire plant wilts and dies; The formulas for calculating the disease index and prevention efficacy are as follows: Disease index = [∑(number of disease-grade plants × representative value) / (total number of plants × highest disease grade representative value)] × 100; Efficacy (%) = (Disease index in control area - Disease index in treatment area) / Disease index in control area × 100; Incidence rate (%) = Number of infected plants / Total number of plants surveyed × 100.
[0033] The test results are as follows:
[0034] The experimental results of each treatment group are as follows: The incidence of tomato wilt in the negative control group was 36%, and the plant growth, yield and fruit quality indicators were all at a low level; the incidence of tomato wilt in the positive control group was 9%, which had a certain disease prevention effect, but the effect on improving tomato growth, quality and yield was limited; the incidence of tomato wilt in comparative 1 and comparative 2 was 23% and 16% respectively, with poor disease prevention effect and no obvious effect on improving plant growth and fruit quality.
[0035] Compared with the control groups, the Bacillus berberis inoculant prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention showed excellent comprehensive application effects, significantly inhibiting the occurrence of tomato wilt disease and effectively controlling the incidence of tomato wilt disease to 6-10%. The disease prevention effect was significantly better than the control group and almost equivalent to the control effect of chemical pesticides. At the same time, the inoculant of this invention can significantly promote the growth of tomato plants. The tomato plant height in each example was 241.8-259.8cm, the root length was 34.8-37.4cm, the root system was well developed, the plants were vigorous, and the growth indicators were significantly better than the control treatment and the pesticide treatment.
[0036] In terms of yield and fruit quality, the tomato yield per mu (667 square meters) in Examples 1-3 of this invention can reach 4823.4-4981.7 kg, which is a significant increase compared with the negative control, positive control and comparative ratio; the soluble solids content of the fruit is 5.21-5.56%, and the vitamin C content is 19.28-20.96 mg / 100g, which is significantly improved compared with the control group, effectively improving the nutritional quality and marketability of tomato fruit.
[0037] In summary, the Bacillus vesiculosus inoculant prepared in this invention can effectively control tomato wilt, reduce the probability of plant disease, and significantly promote tomato growth and development, increase tomato yield, and improve fruit quality. It possesses multiple functions of disease prevention, seedling strengthening, yield increase, and quality improvement, demonstrating excellent application results and suitability for large-scale promotion and application. Unless otherwise stated, all percentages used in this invention are mass percentages.
