Abstract
Description
A preparation containing Bacillus velezensis TCS001 and its application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of biological strain preparation formulas, crop disease prevention and control, and plant growth regulation, and particularly relates to a suspension concentrate and wettable powder formula containing Bacillus Velez TCS001, and the use of the suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001 in regulating the growth quality of cherries and blueberries, promoting early ripening of blueberries, improving the growth characteristics of strawberries, and preventing and controlling diseases and improving the quality of cucumbers and tomatoes. Background Art
[0002] Bacillus velezensis is a novel biocontrol bacterium. Spanish researchers Ruiz-García et al. first isolated two strains, CR-14b and CR-502T, in 2005. These strains are capable of producing large quantities of lipopeptides and exhibit strong antibacterial activity. Bacillus velezensis is widely distributed and can survive adverse conditions such as drought and salinity. However, few related products exist, suggesting promising development prospects.
[0003] Bacillus velezensis TCS001 was isolated from Bohai Sea mud. The original strain was Bacillus marineus CT2628. After mutagenesis and stabilization, it was identified and named Bacillus velezensis TCS001. It has been deposited with the General Microbiology Center of the China General Culture Collection (CGMCC) under the accession number CGMCC No. 8921 and was first published in Patent ZL201410168402.2. When grown on NA medium, TCS001 colonies are nearly round, light yellow, and opaque. Initially, the surface is smooth with neat edges, but later, the surface becomes wrinkled, with slightly irregular edges and a central bulge, which diffuses in a cloud-like pattern. Gram staining showed that the Bacillus Velezii TCS001 strain is Gram-positive and rod-shaped; it has a certain inhibitory effect on cucumber gray mold, cucumber vine blight, cucumber sclerotinia, cucumber brown spot, cotton wilt and banana leaf spot, among which the inhibition rate against cucumber gray mold is the highest, reaching 87.66%.
[0004] Currently, the registered microbial pesticide formulations on the market include wettable powders (WP), suspension concentrates (SC), flowable concentrates for seed coating (FSC), water dispersible granules (WG), dust power (DP), granules (GR), pesticide water agents (AS), emulsions in water (EW), and encapsulated granules (CG). WP accounts for 66.7%, SC for 8.5%, WG for 5.9%, AS for 1.9%, FSC for 1.3%, GR for 5.2%, DP for 1.3%, CG for 1.3%, and EW for 0.65% (data source: http: / / www.icama.org.cn / hysj / index.jhtml).
[0005] Judging from the registration situation up to now, the dosage form of microbial pesticide fungicides is still mainly wettable powders, and the number of other dosage forms is relatively small.
[0006] Wettable powders are a formulation in which the original drug, inert fillers, and adjuvants are fully mixed in a certain proportion and crushed to achieve a certain powder fineness. The laboratory where the inventor of this application is located has previously developed a wettable powder containing Bacillus velezensis TCS001. However, due to the serious loss of secondary metabolites produced by the strain during the development of wettable powders, the large amount of sediment produced during use, the low suspension rate, and the easy clogging of the sprayer nozzle. The low suspension rate can lead to uneven concentration of the drug solution, reducing the prevention and control effect and increasing the probability of disease occurrence. Therefore, wettable powders have not been used as a commercial formulation.
[0007] The inventors of this application believe that microbial pesticide suspension concentrates (SC) account for an increasing proportion, and green and environmentally friendly formulations are a new trend in the future development of pesticides. The developed Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate has not yet been applied to cherries and blueberries. In addition, in previous studies on the prevention and control of strawberry gray mold, it was unexpectedly discovered that Bacillus Velez TCS001 can not only prevent and control diseases, but also significantly improve the growth traits of strawberries. Based on this discovery, the present invention proposes to use Bacillus Velez TCS001 as an active ingredient and apply it to cherries, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes and cucumbers, in order to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers while preventing and controlling diseases, improving quality and increasing yields. This provides a new direction for future research and application.

[0052] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention
[0053] In order to retain the effective ingredients such as the secondary metabolites of the Velez subtilis TCS001 strain to the greatest extent, the present invention selects the fermentation broth of the Velez subtilis TCS001 strain as the main ingredient to prepare a suspension concentrate, which has better efficacy than a wettable powder, does not require an organic solvent, has low toxicity, low volatility, is safe for the environment, and has a low cost.
[0054] Since the survival period of Bacillus Velez TCS001 in the suspension concentrate is short, it cannot meet the needs of practical applications. In addition, it is inconvenient to package and transport, easily produces precipitation during storage, and has poor fluidity. In order to solve the high mortality rate of live bacteria in the suspension concentrate due to environmental problems during storage, the present invention adds an appropriate amount of preservative to solve this key problem.
[0055] The present invention screens out for the first time the use of SXC and UNA in preparing a preparation containing Bacillus Velez TCS001; the use of casone and sodium benzoate in preparing a preparation containing Bacillus Velez TCS001; and the use of xanthan gum in preparing a preparation containing Bacillus Velez TCS001.
[0056] Compared with the previous wettable powder, the suspension concentrate of the present invention has no dust hazard and is relatively safe for operators and the environment. In addition, the suspension concentrate diffuses well in water and can be directly prepared into a spray liquid for use. It has good dispersibility, a high suspension rate, a strong ability to adhere to the surface of plants, and is resistant to rain erosion. Therefore, the efficacy is more significant and more lasting than that of the wettable powder. In addition, it has the advantages of the wettable powder, can be wetted by water, and has better suspension properties after being diluted with water.
[0057] Treatment with the suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001 significantly improved cherry fruit quality. Spraying the cherry fruit with a 400-fold concentration of Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate during the flower bud differentiation, initial flowering, peak flowering, young fruit, and harvest stages increased beta-carotene by 13.6%, anthocyanin by 9.8%, and soluble sugar by 7.3% compared to the control (CK). Vitamin C decreased by 19.4%, and total acidity decreased by 7%. Observations during the trial revealed that Bacillus Velez TCS001 significantly improved cherry size and gloss, as well as other traits, compared to the blank control. The fruit also tasted better when ate.
[0058] Treatment with Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate significantly improved blueberry fruit quality, marking the first discovery that Bacillus Velez TCS001 can promote earlier maturity and marketability of blueberries. Root irrigation with a 500-fold concentration of Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate (SC) advanced ripening by 5-7 days compared to the control (CK). Root irrigation with SC at a 500-fold concentration during the flower bud differentiation, initial flowering, peak flowering, young fruit, and harvest stages increased anthocyanin content by 10%, soluble sugar by 4%, and vitamin C by 5%, while reducing total acidity by 20%. Observations during the trial revealed that Bacillus Velez TCS001 significantly improved other blueberry traits, including color, size, and gloss, compared to the blank control, and the taste was positive.
[0059] Bacillus Velez TCS001 was first shown to improve strawberry growth traits. After spraying with a 300-fold suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001, chlorophyll concentrations in strawberry leaves peaked at 14 and 21 days old, increasing by 11% and 14.89%, respectively, compared to the control. Fresh weights of leaves, stems, and roots per plant increased by 26.5%, 79.4%, and 120%, respectively, compared to the control. Root irrigation with a 300-fold suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001 increased leaf area and plant height by 68.41% and 29.68%, respectively, compared to the control. Root irrigation with a 300-fold suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001 increased IAA content, ABA content, and SOD activity in strawberry leaves by 38.47%, 36.04%, and 21.41%, respectively, compared to the control. After treatment with a 300-fold spray concentration of Bacillus Velez TCS001, GA content, CAT activity, and POD activity in strawberry leaves increased by 34.04%, 21.23%, and 23.21% respectively, compared to the control group, on day 28. Treatment with Bacillus Velez TCS001 significantly promoted strawberry plant growth and induced a faster and stronger protective enzyme defense response in strawberry leaves.
[0060] Applying Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate throughout the entire growth period of greenhouse crops effectively controlled tomato and cucumber diseases, outperforming conventional chemical pesticides. Furthermore, crop quality and yield improved compared to those treated with conventional chemical pesticides. By applying Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate throughout the entire growth period, the company achieved both disease control and prevention while simultaneously reducing the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers and increasing their efficiency.

[0084] Preservatives: Kasone, sodium benzoate, S30N;
[0085] Thickeners: xanthan gum, magnesium aluminum silicate;
[0086] The test bacterial agent of the present invention is the suspension concentrate of Bacillus velezensis TCS001 (3.9×10 9CFU / mL), the specific formula is: Bacillus velezensis TCS001 fermentation broth 40%, dispersant SXC 3%, dispersant UNA 3%, thickener xanthan gum 0.15%, preservative kason 0.2%, preservative sodium benzoate 0.2%, water 53.45% (National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of High-efficiency Preparation Technology of Biopesticides, Zhejiang Agricultural and Forestry University), 2% amino oligosaccharide aqueous solution (Shandong Heyi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), 60% sulfur and sodium sulfonamide wettable powder (Dandong Pesticide Factory, Liaoning Province), 3% zhongshengmycin wettable powder (Shandong Zhaofengnian Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), 75% chlorothalonil water dispersible granules (American Shike) Company), 40% pyrimethanil wettable powder (Jiangsu Fengdeng Crop Protection Co., Ltd.), 66.5% propamocarb hydrochloride aqueous solution (Qingdao Huizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), 6% kasugamycin wettable powder (Shaanxi Thompson Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), 5% zhongshengmycin wettable powder (Fujian Kaili Biological Products Co., Ltd.), 430 g / L tebuconazole suspension concentrate (Zhejiang Qianjiang Biochemical Co., Ltd.), 40% dimethomorph suspension concentrate (Jiangsu Jianpai Agrochemical Co., Ltd.).
[0087] Test plants:
[0088] Experimental varieties: cherry, four-leaf red strawberry, cucumber, tomato, blueberry (AFP).
[0089] Main instruments:
[0090] ME104E electronic balance (Sartorius Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.), chlorophyll tester (Zhejiang Top Yunnong Technology Co., Ltd.), electric constant temperature blast drying oven (DHG-9023A)
[0091] method
[0092] The types and concentrations of the above three types of additives were screened respectively to obtain the optimal suspending agent additive ratio, and finally the performance index was tested. The wetting and dispersing agent was evaluated by measuring the suspension rate.
[0093] Additive compatibility
[0094] The biocompatibility of wetting dispersants, preservatives and thickeners (4 concentrations 0, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%) with Bacillus Velez TCS001 was determined by the toxicity plate method (4 concentrations 0, 1%, 3%, 5%). For wetting dispersants that were incompatible with LB solid culture medium, their biocompatibility with Bacillus Velez TCS001 was determined by the growth method.
[0095] Screening of wetting and dispersing agents
[0096] Determine the appropriate wetting and dispersing agent according to the highest standard of suspension rate and excellent dispersion. After screening the appropriate wetting and dispersing agent by the above method, add the test wetting and dispersing agent to 100 mL of fermentation broth according to different proportions (0, 1%, 3%, 6%). After standing at room temperature for 24 hours, the CFU method is used to determine the content of the active ingredient in the suspension. The grade is determined according to the dispersion state according to Table 1, and the optimal dosage of the wetting and dispersing agent is determined.
[0097] Table 1 Dispersion performance classification standard
[0098] Thickener dosage screening
[0099] Thickeners of different concentrations (0, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, and 0.25%) were added to the fermentation broth containing the wetting and dispersing agent. The water separation rate and viscosity at room temperature for one month were observed. 8 mL of the fermentation broth was added to a 10 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged at low speed for half an hour at room temperature. The precipitation was then closely observed, and 1 mL of the upper suspension after centrifugation was taken to detect its CFU content to determine the appropriate dosage of the thickener.
[0100] Screening of preservatives
[0101] During storage, suspension concentrates must be protected against bacterial contamination, so a small amount of preservatives must be added. The type and concentration of preservatives are determined through biocompatibility testing. Using the adjuvants selected in the tests, different concentrations of preservatives (0, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%) are added to prepare different samples. The samples are then stored at room temperature for 14 days and their suspension rate and degree of mildew are measured.
[0102] Determination method of Bacillus velez content
[0103] Dilution solution preparation
[0104] Heat 802 mL of Tween, 18 g of NaCl, and 2000 mL of distilled water until fully dissolved, then dispense into conical flasks and sterilize at 121°C for 30 min.
[0105] Dilution of sample (determination of viable bacterial count)
[0106] Under aseptic conditions, use a pipette to accurately pipette 1.0 mL of sample (accurate to 0.01 mL) and place it in 9.0 mL of diluent solution, mixing thoroughly to obtain a 10-fold diluted sample solution, labeled as 0. Then, perform a serial dilution according to Table 2. (To minimize sample dilution errors, during serial dilutions, thoroughly shake each dilution for uniformity. At each dilution, use a new pipette and pipette the bacterial solution along the tube wall from the previous gradient to the next. Shake manually for 30 seconds to ensure uniform dilution.)
[0107] Table 2 Serial dilution
[0108] Dilution of sample (spore count determination)
[0109] Ultrasonicate the sample to be tested in an ultrasonic water bath for 10 minutes. Pipette 5.0 mL of the sample into a conical flask containing 45 mL of diluent. Then fully shake on a shaker at 200 r / min for 30 minutes to obtain a 1:10 bacterial suspension. Place the 1:10 bacterial suspension in an 80℃±1℃ water bath for 10 minutes. After cooling, dilute it according to the gradient in Table 2.
[0110] Plate count (viable bacteria and spore count)
[0111] Under sterile conditions, pour sterilized LB medium into a culture dish and cool to room temperature.
[0112] Pipette 100 μL of each of the three gradient dilutions No. 6, 7, and 8 onto an LB plate and evenly spread it over the entire surface of the plate using a curved glass rod. Repeat three times for each dilution, and then culture in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C in the dark for 48 h.
[0113] pH determination
[0114] Weigh 1.0g of the sample into a 100mL beaker, add 100mL of water, stir vigorously for 1 minute, and let it sit for 1 minute. Insert a rinsed glass electrode and a saturated calomel electrode into the sample solution and measure its pH. Perform at least three replicate measurements. The absolute difference in the results should be less than 0.1. The arithmetic mean of these results is the pH value of the sample.
[0115] Suspension rate determination
[0116] The specific operation process is as follows: take 1 mL of the evenly mixed product into a measuring cylinder containing 249 mL of standard hard water, and continuously turn it upside down with the middle of the measuring cylinder as the axis. Then, treat it in a constant temperature water bath at 30°C for 30 minutes. Then, use a pipette to suck out 9 / 10 of the top of the measuring cylinder and determine the CFU of the remaining suspension.
[0117] The suspension rate is calculated according to the following formula:
[0118] W1(%)=[(M1-M2) / M1]×10 / 9×100
[0119] Where:
[0120] M1——the total number of Bacillus in the sample taken to prepare the suspension, in pieces;
[0121] M2——the total number of bacteria in the corresponding bottom suspension, in units;
[0122] 10 / 9——Conversion factor.
[0123] Determination of persistent foaming
[0124] Add standard hard water (15°C to 25°C) to the 180mL mark in the measuring cylinder. Place the measuring cylinder on a balance and weigh 1.0g of sample. Add hard water to the mark 9cm±0.1cm from the bottom of the measuring cylinder stopper. Cover the cylinder with the stopper. With the center of the measuring cylinder as the center, invert it 180° up and down 30 times (2 seconds each time). Place it vertically on the test bench and let it rest. Record the foam volume at 1min±10s (accurate to 2mL). Repeat the measurement three times and take the arithmetic mean as the persistent foaming test result for the sample.
[0125] Determination of the pourability of suspension concentrates
[0126] Determination of residue after dumping
[0127] Weigh the stoppered graduated cylinder (accurate to 0.1 g); add the sample to the 80% mark on the cylinder's total volume, replace the stopper, and weigh again (accurate to 0.1 g). After standing for 24 hours at room temperature (the specific temperature can be determined according to actual needs), rotate the cylinder 135° from its upright position, invert for 60 seconds, and then invert for 60 seconds. Reweigh the stoppered graduated cylinder (accurate to 0.1 g). Express the sample residue after inversion as a mass fraction, calculated according to formula (1):
[0128] Where:
[0129] W1 - residue after pouring, expressed in %;
[0130] M2 - the sum of the mass of the residue after pouring and the mass of the stoppered measuring cylinder, in grams (g);
[0131] M0——mass of the stoppered graduated cylinder, in grams (g);
[0132] M1 is the sum of the mass of the sample and the mass of the measuring cylinder with stopper, in grams (g);
[0133] Determination of residue after washing
[0134] Add 20°C distilled water to the 80% mark on the measuring cylinder's total volume, cover with a stopper, and invert the cylinder 10 times (when inverting the cylinder, ensure that each time the center of the cylinder is used as the center, the cylinder should be turned 180° from the upright position and then returned to the original position in about 2 seconds. The operation should be completed smoothly and evenly). Then, pour out the water using the same method as when pouring, cover with a lid, and weigh (accurate to 0.1g). Express the sample's post-wash residue as a mass fraction and calculate according to formula (2):
[0135] W1 - residue after washing, expressed in %;

This was conducted in accordance with the provisions of "GB-T 17980.30-2000 Guidelines for Field Efficacy of Pesticides (I) Part 30: Control of Cucumber Powdery Mildew with Fungicides." Five random surveys were conducted per treatment, with two plants surveyed at each survey point and all leaves surveyed for each plant. The percentage of lesion area on each leaf to the total leaf area was used to grade the disease, and the disease index and control efficacy were calculated.
[0332] Grading method (leaf unit):
[0333] Level 0: no lesions;
[0334] Level 1: lesions occupy less than 5% of the entire leaf area;
[0335] Level 3: lesions occupy 6%-10% of the entire leaf area;
[0336] Level 5: lesions occupy less than 11%-20% of the entire leaf area;
[0337] Level 7: lesions occupy less than 21%-40% of the entire leaf area;
[0338] Level 9: Lesions cover more than 40% of the entire leaf area.
[0339] According to the survey results, the disease index and prevention effect are calculated according to the following formula.
[0340] Investigation on the effectiveness of prevention against cucumber downy mildew
[0341] When obvious downy mildew symptoms appeared in the blank control group, the control efficacy was assessed. This was conducted in accordance with the requirements of "GB-T 17980.26-2000 Guidelines for Field Efficacy of Pesticides (I) Part 26: Control of Cucumber Downy Mildew with Fungicides." Five random sites were surveyed in each plot, with three plants at each site and ten leaves from each plant. The percentage of lesion area on each leaf to the total leaf area was used for grading.
[0342] Grading method (leaf unit):
[0343] Level 0: no lesions;
[0344] Level 1: The lesion area accounts for less than 5% of the entire leaf area;
[0345] Level 3: The lesion area accounts for 6%-10% of the entire leaf area;
[0346] Level 5: The lesion area accounts for 11%-20% of the entire leaf area;
[0347] Level 7: The lesion area accounts for 21%-50% of the entire leaf area;
[0348] Level 9: The lesion area accounts for more than 50% of the entire leaf area.
[0349] According to the survey results, the disease index and prevention effect are calculated according to the following formula.
[0350] Investigation on the effectiveness of prevention of cucumber wilt
[0351] When the blank control group showed obvious symptoms of wilt, the wilt control efficacy was investigated. According to the method of "GB / T 17980.113-2004 Guidelines for Field Efficacy Tests of Pesticides (II) - Control of Fusarium Wilt by Fungicides for Cucurbits", 4 random sampling points were taken for each treatment, and each point was investigated for 8 m 2 , investigate the total number of cucumber plants and the number of diseased plants respectively. Calculate the diseased plant rate and prevention effect.
[0352] Cucumber biomass determination
[0353] Four points were randomly selected for each treatment, and 15 consecutive plants were selected at each point, totaling 60 plants. They were marked with red lines. At the initial flowering stage of cucumber, the stem diameter of the cucumber plants was measured, and the relative chlorophyll content of the fourth to last leaf was determined using a handheld chlorophyll meter TYS-A.
[0354] Cucumber yield determination
[0355] After the fruits matured, cucumber fruits with a diameter of 3 to 4 cm were collected regularly for 8 consecutive times to calculate the cumulative yield of cucumbers.
[0356] Cucumber quality determination
[0357] The vitamin C content was determined in accordance with GB 5009.86-2016 National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Foods; the moisture content was determined in accordance with GB 5009.3-2016 National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Water in Foods; and the soluble solids content was determined in accordance with NY-T 2637-2014 Fruits and Vegetables - Determination of Soluble Solids Content.
[0358] Test results
[0359] It can be seen from the biocompatibility test results in Figures 1 and 2 that Bacillus velez TCS001 grows better in SXC, 4913, UNA, NN9401, and NS-500LQ, while the other wetting and dispersing agents inhibit the growth of Bacillus velez TCS001 as the concentration increases. Therefore, the five wetting and dispersing agents with better compatibility were re-screened in the next step.
[0360] Table 10 Wetting and dispersing agent rescreening results
[0361] Table 10 shows that the addition of SXC, UNA, and NN9401 resulted in higher suspension efficiency than 4913 and NS-500LQ, but all were below 90%. Further experiments were conducted using two-by-two combinations to improve suspension efficiency. Table 11 shows that the optimal ratio of wetting and dispersing agents is 3% SXC + 3% UNA, which achieves the highest suspension efficiency.
[0362] Table 11 Wetting and dispersing agent combination screening results
[0363] As shown in Figure 3, while magnesium aluminum silicate did not inhibit the growth of Bacillus Velez TCS001 as its concentration increased, it was difficult to dissolve in the culture medium and formed small clumps. Xanthan gum, on the other hand, did not exhibit this phenomenon and did not inhibit the growth of Bacillus Velez TCS001. Therefore, xanthan gum was selected as the thickener. Table 12 shows that the optimal xanthan gum concentration was 0.15%.
[0364] Table 12 Screening results of xanthan gum addition amount of thickener
[0365] As shown in Figure 4, S30N inhibited the growth of Bacillus velezensis TCS001, so kasone and sodium benzoate were selected as preservatives for the next test.
[0366] As shown in Table 13, the optimal ratio of kasonon to sodium benzoate is 0.2% + 0.2%, which results in the highest suspension rate and the lowest mildew rate.
[0367] Table 13 Anticorrosive effect of preservatives
[0368] According to the optimization results of the adjuvants of wetting and dispersing agent, thickener and preservative, Table 14 shows the optimal formula of the suspension concentrate of Bacillus velezensis TCS001.

[0391] Effect of application of suspension concentrate of Bacillus Velez TCS001 on greenhouse tomatoes
[0392] Table 19 Effect of disease prevention and control on tomatoes throughout the whole process
[0393] As can be seen from Table 19, the full application of Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate has a good preventive effect on important diseases such as damping-off, bacterial wilt, early blight, gray mold and wilt in the growth process of greenhouse tomatoes, which is better than conventional chemical agents.
[0394] Table 20 Results of the tomato quality improvement test throughout the entire process
[0395] It can be seen from Table 20 that after applying the TCS001 bacterial agent composition, the quality and yield of greenhouse tomatoes were significantly improved. The biomass of tomatoes increased, the yield was significantly improved, the soluble solid content, vitamin C, and soluble sugar content were all increased, and the titratable acid content was reduced.
[0396] Effect of application of Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate on greenhouse cucumbers
[0397] Table 21 Effect of cucumber disease prevention and control throughout the whole process
[0398] As can be seen from Table 21, the full application of Bacillus Velez TCS001 suspension concentrate has a good preventive effect on important diseases of cucumber growth in the greenhouse, including damping-off, bacterial angular leaf spot, powdery mildew, downy mildew and wilt. Except for bacterial angular leaf spot, which is equivalent to conventional chemical agents, the other diseases are better than chemical agents.
[0399] Table 22 Results of the cucumber quality improvement test throughout the entire process
[0400] As can be seen from Table 22, after applying the TCS001 microbial agent composition, the yield of cucumber was significantly increased; the vitamin C and moisture content were both increased; it can be seen that the application of the Bacillus Velez TCS001 microbial agent composition has a significant effect on improving the quality and increasing the yield of greenhouse cucumbers.
[0401] The laboratory of the inventor of this application has previously developed a wettable powder containing Bacillus Velez TCS001 with the following formula: 70% fermentation broth of Bacillus Velez TCS001, 10% carrier diatomaceous earth, 5% dispersant polyvinyl alcohol, 10% wetting agent sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 2.5% stabilizer potassium phosphate, and 2.5% protective agent dextrin.
[0402] After testing, the wettable powder containing Bacillus Velez TCS001 of the present invention has a suspension rate of 80.2% and a wetting time of 20 seconds, which can meet the requirements for pesticide registration.
[0403] However, due to the shortcomings of wettable powders such as the serious loss of secondary metabolites produced by the strains during the development process, the large amount of sediment produced during use, the low suspension rate, and the easy clogging of the sprayer nozzle, the low suspension rate will lead to uneven concentration of the liquid medicine, reducing the prevention and control effect and increasing the probability of disease occurrence, the inventors did not consider wettable powders as a commercial dosage form.
[0404] Compared with the previous powder, the suspension concentrate of the present invention has no dust hazard and is relatively safe for operators and the environment. In addition, the suspension concentrate diffuses well in water and can be directly prepared into a spray liquid for use. It has good dispersibility, a high suspension rate, a strong ability to adhere to the surface of plants, and is resistant to rain erosion. Therefore, the efficacy is more significant and more lasting than that of wettable powders. It also has the advantages of wettable powders, can be wetted by water, and has better suspension properties after dilution with water.
[0405] Experimental results show that treatment with the Bacillus Velez-like TCS001 suspension concentrate significantly improved the quality of cherries and blueberries, accelerating blueberry ripening and improving taste. It also significantly promoted strawberry plant growth and induced faster and stronger protective enzyme responses in strawberry leaves. Furthermore, application of the suspension concentrate to cucumbers and tomatoes effectively controlled diseases, outperforming conventional chemical agents and resulting in increased yield and quality.
[0406] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
