Abstract:

The aim is to develop microbial agents that promote the maize growth and prevent maize stem basal rot in saline-alkaline soil in Yinbei of Ningxia. The microorganisms with high saline tolerance were used as experimental materials, the antagonistic bacteria against Fusarium and other pathogens were screened and the ability to produce enzyme and compatibility were detected using plate antagonistic culture. In addition, the effects of prevention of maize stem basal rot and growth-promoting were tested relying on the microbial agents mixed with saline-alkaline soil in field trail. The results showed that four antifungal bacteria were screened against a variety of pathogens such as Fusarium with high producing enzyme ability among 237 saline-alkaline isolates. Strains B-2 and N-16 were identified as Bacillus sonorensis, N-17 as B. pumilus, and B-26 as B. paralicheniformis. The four strains could not inhibit each other, and microbial agents contained the mix powder of the four strains, soil conditioner, microelement and vector. The preventive effect of microbial agents YF or JF mixed with saline-alkaline soil against the maize stem basal rot could reach beyond 60%, showing evident growth-promoting and yield-increasing effect. Microbial agents YF or JF mixed with saline-alkaline soil could promote maize growth and prevent maize stem basal rot in Yinbei of Ningxia, and the study has certain significance for effective use of saline-alkaline soil.

Key words: microbial agent, saline-alkaline soil, maize stem base rot, preventive effect, growth-promoting effect
