Abstract:

An agar plate antagonism experiment in combining with in vivo screening experiment was conducted to study the affinity and bacteriostasis spectrum of the combination of biocontrol agents Trichoderma longbrachitum and Streptomyces jingyangensis to Nicotiana tabacum seedlings, with the effects of each agent and their combination on the N. tabacum seedlings growth, induced resistance, and resistance to Phytophthora nicotianae analyzed. The two agents had no interactive inhibitory effect and showed higher affinity to N. tabacum, and the agents themselves as well as their metabolites had higher bacteriostasis activities and wider bacteriostasis spectrum to P. nicotianae, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Alternaria alternate in different habitats. The combination of the two agents affected the morphological characteristics of the seedlings underground and aboveground parts, promoted the growth of root, stem, and leaf, and increased the root volume, total surface area, length, and average diameter as well as the stem height and size and the leaf length, width, and biomass, with these promotion effects being superior than those of the singleagent treatment. The combination of the two agents also increased the activities of the defensive enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, and peroxidase  in the seedlings root significantly, with the relative control efficiency against P. nicotianae reached 69.3%, as compared to the conventional treatment. This study showed that the combination of T. longbrachitum and S. jingyangensis was a compatible combination with higher affinity and efficiency. This combination showed a synergistic effect of the two agents in plant disease control and in promoting plant growth, being able to promote the tobacco seedlings growth and control the P. nicotianae effectively.
