The present application relates to the field of agricultural
microorganism technology, and particularly discloses a microbial inoculum for promoting growth in the prevention and treatment of rice
smut, and a preparation method and application thereof. The present application provides an application of the grass
Helicobacter R3 in the preparation of a microbial inoculum for promoting growth in the prevention and treatment of rice
smut, and the classification name of the grass
Helicobacter R3 is
Herbaspirillum sp. R3, which was preserved in the China Center for Type Culture Collection on September 20, 2023, at an address of Wuhan University, China, Wuhan, with a preservation number of CCTCC NO: M 20231757. The microbial inoculum prepared from the grass
Helicobacter R3 bacterial suspension,
xanthan gum and
ascorbic acid in a specific ratio, in combination with a
disinfectant, can be applied to the prevention and treatment of seed diseases of rice, can significantly reduce the bacterial carrying rate of the rice
smut pathogen of rice seeds, and can also alleviate the
oxidative damage caused by seed disinfection and improve the seed
germination rate.
