The present invention provides Bacillus vallismortis SZ-4, which has the preservation number of CGMCC No.8273. According to the present invention, the strain grows on a
beef extract-peptone (NB) culture medium in a single
cell reproduction growth manner to form bacterial colonies, and the bacterial colonies have characteristics of round shape, milk white color, slightly elevated center, and moist and transparent surface; microscopic examination results show that the Bacillus vallismortis SZ-4 has a rod shape, has flagella, has a size of 0.7-0.82*1.6-2.2 mum, presents the positive
Gram staining effect, has spores, and can grow on a
beef extract-peptone (NB) culture medium containing 2-5% of NaCl, wherein the
beef extract-peptone (NB) culture medium comprises: 3.0 g of a beef extract, 10.0 g of peptone, 5.0 g of NaCl, 17 g of
agar and 1000 ml of water, and the pH value is 6.8-7.2; and the Bacillus vallismortis SZ-4 provides significant
antagonism effects for
pathogenic bacteria causing
ginseng root rot,
blight,
sclerotinia sclerotiorum and
botrytis cinerea. The present invention further provides an application of the Bacillus vallismortis SZ-4 in prevention and control of
plant fungal diseases or preparation of
microorganism preparations for prevention and control of
plant fungal diseases.
