Sumario: | Soft rot disease is a major pathogenic bacteria of Fuding areca taro and has caused serious losses. This study aims to screen biocontrol bacterial against soft rot disease. A total of 53 bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil, nine of which exhibited good biocontrol effect against the pathogenic bacteria of soft rot disease as seen in antagonistic screening of biocontrol bacteria from corm in vitro. Strains were selected by physical and chemical experiments, biocontrol effect tests in vivo, molecular sequencing, morphological observation and field tests. Four strains including CAB-L005, CAB-L012, CAB-L014, and CAB-L022 exhibited strong antagonistic effects. On the basis of the sequence homology of 16S rRNA genes, the similarity between strain CAB-L005 and Bacillus tropicus was 100%, that between strain CAB-L012 and Bacillus subtilis was 99%, and that between strain CAB-L014 and Bacillus tequilensis was 100%, and similarity between strain CAB-L022 and Bacillus cereus was 100%. The isolated bacteria demonstrated good biocontrol effects in field experiments. In this study, four strains with good biocontrol application value were isolated and identified, providing a foundation for biocontrol against soft rot disease in areca taro. |
