Which crops are suitable for biological control using Bacillus licheniformis?

The following crops are suitable for biological control using Bacillus licheniformis:

grain crops

Rice: It can effectively prevent and control common diseases such as rice sheath blight and rice blast disease. For example, in the process of rice cultivation, applying Bacillus licheniformis preparations to rice fields can produce antibacterial substances that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, induce systemic resistance in rice, enhance the disease resistance of rice itself, reduce disease occurrence, and ensure rice yield

Wheat: It has a good control effect on wheat take all disease, powdery mildew, etc. Mixing wheat seeds with Bacillus licheniformis before sowing or applying pesticides in the early stages of disease can make wheat plants more robust, improve wheat stress resistance and yield

cash crop

Cotton: Helps prevent soil borne diseases such as cotton wilt and wilt. After colonization in the rhizosphere of cotton, Bacillus licheniformis can compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, reduce the probability of pathogen infection, promote cotton root development, and make cotton grow more vigorously

Tobacco: can reduce the occurrence of tobacco diseases such as black shank and anthrax. After using Bacillus licheniformis, the immune system of tobacco can be enhanced, and the quality and yield of tobacco can be improved

Vegetable crops

Tomato: It can prevent and control tomato early blight bacteria, leaf mold bacteria, wilt bacteria, and gray mold bacteria, among which the control effect on leaf mold bacteria is the best. Bacillus licheniformis colonizes the leaves and rhizosphere of tomatoes, producing antibacterial substances to inhibit pathogens, while activating the tomato's own defense system, reducing diseases, and promoting tomato growth

Chili pepper: It can induce systemic resistance in chili peppers, enhance their resistance to diseases, and help improve the yield and quality of chili peppers

Cucumber: It has a good control effect on cucumber downy mildew, wilt disease, etc. After treatment with Bacillus licheniformis, the activity of defense enzymes such as peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase in cucumber roots was significantly enhanced, while the content of malondialdehyde decreased. This induced systemic resistance in cucumber and ensured its normal growth and yield

fruit crop

Apples: can prevent and control fruit diseases such as apple scab and anthracnose. The application of Bacillus licheniformis on apple trees can improve fruit quality, reduce disease spots, and increase the commercial value of apples

Mango: It has a certain inhibitory effect on mango anthracnose, powdery mildew, etc., which helps with mango growth and fruit development, and improves mango yield and quality
