Overview

Demonstrates the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus sonorensis A-5 against Fusarium wilt in watermelon, suggesting a sustainable management alternative.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the biocontrol potential of Bacillus sonorensis A-5 against Fusarium wilt in watermelon.
  • Isolated 56 bacterial strains from healthy watermelon rhizosphere soil.
  • Identified strain A-5 as Bacillus sonorensis through taxonomic analysis.
  • Conducted in vitro assays to assess inhibition rates against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum.
  • Performed pot experiments to evaluate the control efficacy and impact on disease incidence.
  • Strain A-5 demonstrated a maximum mycelial inhibition rate of 70.15% against Fusarium.
  • In vitro tests showed an 81.05% inhibition rate from the sterile fermentation filtrate.
  • Strain A-5 significantly reduced seedling disease incidence by 78.04% in pot experiments.
  • The strain produced various antifungal compounds and secreted cell wall-degrading enzymes.
