The present invention relates to a microbial preparation of Bacillus which is capable of resolving chelated phosphorus in soils to phosphorus absorbed by plants, avoiding diseases and pests, and promoting a plant growth and microbial proliferation in the soils.
Since Staltrom discovered phosphorus-dissolving microorganisms in the soil in 1903, researchers have begun various studies, such as types, phosphorus dissolution mechanism, and application effect of phosphate-dissolving bacteria.
According to incomplete statistics, a total of 36 genera and 89 species of phosphorus-dissolving microorganisms have been screened worldwide, including 27 species of fungi, 58 species of bacteria, and 4 species of actinomycetes. Bacillus sp. Sheathella and Penicillium. It is generally believed that the phosphorus-dissolving mechanism of phosphorus-soluble strains is related to the production of low-molecular-weight organic acids. Organic acids chelate metal ions on insoluble phosphates through hydroxyl groups and hydroxyl groups, thereby converting insoluble phosphorus into soluble phosphorus.
However, the dissolution of poorly soluble phosphorus by phosphate-dissolving bacteria is a complex phenomenon, such as nutrients, physiology, and growing culture conditions all affect it.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a microecological preparation of Bacillus which is capable of resolving chelated phosphorus in soils to phosphorus absorbed by plants, avoiding diseases and pests, and promoting a plant growth and microbial proliferation in the soils.
To obtain above-mentioned objective, a microecological preparation of Bacillus provided by the present invention consists of: 5%-10% (ww) shrimp and crab shell powders, 85%-90% corn starches, and a RG BV-1 strain in Bacillus velezensis, wherein a base sequence having serial number 1 is presented by 16S rDNA, and the 85%-90% corn starches, the 5%-10% (ww) shrimp and crab shell powders, and the RG BV-1 strain are mixed at a predetermined proportion.
Accordingly, the microbial preparation of the Bacillus is capable of resolving chelated phosphorus in soils to phosphorus absorbed by plants, thus avoiding diseases and pests, promoting a plant growth and microbial proliferation in the soils.
A microbial preparation of Bacillus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention consists of: 85%-90% corn starches, 5%-10% (ww) shrimp and crab shell powders, and a RG BV-1 strain in Bacillus velezensis, wherein a base sequence having serial number 1 is presented by 16S rDNA, and the 85%-90% corn starches, the 5%-10% (ww) shrimp and crab shell powders, and the RG BV-1 strain are mixed at a predetermined proportion.
Accordingly, the microbial preparation of the Bacillus is capable of resolving chelated phosphorus in soils to phosphorus absorbed by plants, thus avoiding diseases and pests, promoting a plant growth and microbial proliferation in the soils.
The RG BV-1 strain or cultures of the RG BV-1 strain are active ingredients of the microbial preparation.
The microbial preparation is in a form of any one of powders, solution, suspensions, and granules, wherein the microbial preparation is any one of plant disease control agent, nematode control agent, and plant growth promoter.
The microbial preparation further consists of fertilizer additives having organic fertilizer or microbial fertilizer, and the organic fertilizer or the microbial fertilizer consists of any one of amino acids, seaweed extract, humic acid, bird droppings, molasses, bone meal, fish essence, seaweed powders, sawdusts, lime, oil meal, rice bran, and grass ashes. Alternatively, the organic fertilizer or the microbial fertilizer consists of a mixture of at least two of amino acids, seaweed extract, humic acid, bird droppings, molasses, bone meal, fish essence, seaweed powders, sawdust, lime, oil meal, rice bran, and grass ashes.
Taking rice and lettuce for example, IAA sensitivity of the microbial preparation is tested in steps of:
disinfecting and germinating rice seedlings;
putting the rice seedlings in a sterilized Petri dish in which a filter paper is disposed;
adding 3 mL of 0.03 μM, 3 μM, 30 μM, and 300 μM of IAA aqueous solutions respectively;
moving the sterilized Petri dish into a plant growth box for 4 days;
measuring an average height of buds of the rice seedlings and an average height of roots of the rice seedlings;
disinfecting seeds of the lettuce with 5% sodium hypochlorite and putting the seeds of the lettuce in another sterilized Petri dish in which a filter paper is disposed;
adding 3 mL of 0.03 μM, 3 μM, 30 μM, and 300 μM of IAA aqueous solutions respectively;
moving another sterilized Petri dish into another plant growth box for 3 days; and
measuring a germination rate and a height of each lettuce and a length of a root of each lettuce.
Accordingly, as shown in
However, when a concentration of IAA is 300 μM, the growth of the roots of the rice seedlings is limited. Thus, the roots of the rice seedlings do not grow obviously when the concentration of IAA is within 0.00003 μM to 0.003 μM.
Referring to
In use, when the microbial preparation is the solution or suspended particles, it is sprayed or inoculated to seeds or roots of plant seedlings in the soils. Alternatively, the microbial preparation is poured to the soils so that the seeds or the roots of the plant seedlings contact with the microbial preparation. In another embodiment, the microbial preparation is filled to a capsule, and the capsule is embed into a plant pot so as to contact with the seeds or the roots of the plant seedlings after the capsule breaks down, thus growing the plants strongly.
A method of producing the microbial preparation comprises steps of:
The microbial preparation is used for the rice seedlings. Taking Tainan No. 12 of rice seedlings for example, the rice seedlings are heated up to 62° C. for 15 minutes to sterilize pathogenic fungi of the rice seedlings, and the rice seedlings are socked in a water of the growth box water in a temperature of 40° C. so as to avoid lights and to sprout, wherein the filter paper is put into the sterilized Petri Dish, and 15 rice seedlings are put into the sterilized Petri Dish, wherein a length of roots of the 15 rice seedlings is less than 1.0 cm, thereafter 1 mL strain solution is centrifuged to remove culture solution, wherein 0.85% sodium chloride solution is applied to suspend the bacteria, and the 0.85% sodium chloride solution are added into the sterilized Petri Dish so as to test the 15 rice seedlings by ways of the filter paper, wherein the concentration of the bacterial solution is more than 106 CFUm/L. The sterilized Petri Dish is moved into the growth box, and an average height of the buds of the 15 rice seedlings and an average length of the roots of the 15 rice seedlings are measured after 4 days. A condition of the growth box is light photoperiod L:dark photoperiod D is 12 hours: 12 hours, a temperature is 28° C., and a relative humidity is 72° C. Referring to
In a comparative example, the microbial preparation is not inoculated to the rice seedlings, the rice seedlings are heated to 62° C. for 15 minutes to sterilize pathogenic fungi of the rice seedlings, and the rice seedlings are socked in the water of the growth box water in the temperature of 40° C. so as to avoid lights and to sprout, wherein the filter paper is put into the sterilized Petri Dish, and 15 rice seedlings are put into the sterilized Petri Dish, wherein a length of roots of the 15 rice seedlings is less than 1.0 cm, thereafter 0.85% saline solution are applied to cultivate the 15 rice seedlings, and the sterilized Petri Dish is moved into the growth box, wherein an average height of the buds of the 15 rice seedlings and an average length of the roots of the 15 rice seedlings are measured after 4 days. A condition of the growth box is light photoperiod L:dark photoperiod D is 12 hours: 12 hours, a temperature is 28° C., and a relative humidity is 72° C. Referring to
The average height of the buds and the average length of the roots of the 15 rice seedlings of the embodiment and the comparative example are analyzed statistically at 95% confidence level of t-test. Accordingly, the length of the roots of the 15 rice seedlings of the embodiment is more than that of the comparative example, thus promoting growth of the rice seedlings by using the microbial preparation of the present invention.
