Biocontrol efficiency of Fusarium wilt diseases by a root-colonizing fungus Penicillium sp.

Soil-inhabiting fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum often causes severe yield losses in many crops. We investigated the effect of a plant growth-promoting fungus, Penicillium sp. EU0013 on Fusarium wilt disease. In dual culture experiments, EU0013 inhibited the growth of Fusarium wilt pathogens by producing an inhibition zone. In experiments using sterile potting medium under controlled conditions, EU0013 significantly reduced the severity of Fusarium wilt on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). In non-sterile soil, benomyl-resistant mutants of EU0013 were selected by exposing the conidial solution of EU0013 to ultraviolet light. The selected mutant EU0013_90S isolate did not show any distinct differences from EU0013 in colony characteristics, growth rate or antifungal activity against Fusarium wilt pathogens in dual culture. The effect of EU0013_90S on tomato wilt was studied under greenhouse conditions using non-sterile soil. Two-weeks old tomato seedlings were dipped in four different concentrations of EU0013_90S conidial suspension (1?×?10³, 1?×?10⁴, 1?×?10⁵, and 1?×?10⁶ conidia mL^–1). Seedlings were then planted in soil inoculated with either F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 1 CU1 or race 2 JCM 12575 (1?×?10⁶ bud-cells g^–1). We found the greatest disease suppression occurred when seedlings were dipped in the highest concentration of EU0013_90S conidia. This same inoculum concentration of EU0013_90S also resulted in the highest disease reduction in soil infested with JCM 12575. Higher root colonization with EU0013_90S showed a significant reduction in Fusarium wilt disease, suggesting that colonization by Penicillium sp. EU0013_90S is important for efficient biocontrol of these diseases.     

Rhizobacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Strain SQRT3-Mediated Induced Systemic Resistance Controls Bacterial Wilt of Tomato

Tomato bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum seriously threats tomato growth in tropical and temperate regions around the world. This study reported an antagonistic bacterial strain, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain SQRT3, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of tomato plants, which strongly inhibited in vitro growth of pathogenic R. solanacearum. The suppression of tomato bacterial wilt by strain SQRT3 was demonstrated under greenhouse conditions. Additionally, induced systemic resistance (ISR) in tomato as one of the potential disease suppression mechanisms was investigated in the plants inoculated with the isolated bacterial strain SQRT3. The results showed that strain SQRT3 applied with R. solanacearum by drenching significantly reduced tomato bacterial wilt by 68.1% biocontrol efficiency (BE) and suppressed the R. solanacearum populations in the rhizosphere soil compared to the control only drenched with R. solanacearum. The BE of the isolated bacterial strain SQRT3 against tomato wilt increased to 84.1% by root-dipping. Tomato plants treated with both strain SQRT3 and R. solanacearum showed increases in activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase compared with other treatments. The application of strain SQRT3 reduced membrane lipid peroxidation in tomato leaves. The expressions of marker genes for jasmonic acid-and salicylic acid-dependent signaling pathways were faster and stronger in tomato plants treated with both strain SQRT3 and R. solanacearum than in plants treated with either R. solanacearum or strain SQRT3 alone. Collectively, the findings indicated that strain SQRT3 can effectively control tomato wilt.     

Effect of living cells of microalgae or their extracts on soil enzyme activities

The enzymatic activity of the soil and potential plant growth can both be affected by the addition of different substances, such as biostimulants. The final objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus quadricauda or their extracts applied directly into the soil, by monitoring the complex soil-microorganism-plant system. Experiments were conducted in pots using agricultural soil and tomato plants in a growth chamber at 25 ± 2 °C illuminated by artificial light with a 16-h photoperiod. The soil biological activity was analyzed by monitoring fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, dehydrogenases, acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase and urease activities. Dry weight and chlorophyll index values of tomato plants were also investigated. Results showed that both the microalgae and their extracts positively affected soil biological activity by increasing values of the biochemical index of potential soil fertility (Mw) both in cultivated and uncultivated soils. The highest Mw value was reached in cultivated soil treated for 11 days with the lower concentration of S. quadricauda extract (Mw 9.47). All treatments significantly increased the growth of tomato plants with respect to untreated soil. These results are very promising with a view to improving soil biological activity as well as increasing plant growth.     

Suppression of rice blast,cabbage black leaf spot,and tomato bacterial wilt diseases by Meyerozyma guilliermondii TA-2 and the nature of protection

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of yeast strain TA-2 for controlling rice blast, cabbage black leaf spot, and tomato bacterial wilt diseases. Microscopic and phylogenetic analyses based on rDNA-internal transcribed region (ITS) and rDNA-D1/D2 sequences indicated that yeast strain TA-2 is Meyerozyma guilliermondii. Pretreatment with TA-2 by soil drenching significantly reduced the severity of black leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria brassicicola and leaf blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. Symptom development of tomato bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum in both soil drench and needle inoculation tests was significantly reduced in TA-2-pretreated plants under soil drenching. Disease severity and R. solanacearum growth were significantly reduced in tomato plants pretreated with yeast culture, cell suspension, or culture filtrate of TA-2 under soil drenching. TA-2 does not produce antibiotics. The present study indicates that disease suppression is systemic, as the roots were treated with TA-2 and the pathogens were inoculated onto leaves or stems, thereby separating the two spatially. M. guilliermondii TA-2 could become a promising natural antimicrobial agent against rice blast, cabbage black leaf spot, and tomato bacterial wilt diseases and might be useful as an eco-friendly control measure, contributing to sustainable agriculture.     

Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Colonization on Microbial Community in Rhizosphere Soil and Fusarium Wilt Disease in Tomato

Fusarium wilt is caused by soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 1 and was infected with wilt disease. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate effects of inoculating arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus etunicatium) on the microbial community in the rhizosphere soil and Fusarium wilt in tomato (cv. Oogatafukuju). The results indicated that AM fungal inoculation suppressed the Fusarium number in the rhizosphere soil of tomato and decreased the Fusarium wilt disease index. Compared to the control, AM fungal inoculation increased the actinomycete number but increased bacterial number. Bacterial and fungal numbers were high but actinomycetes number was low when tomato basal stems became discolored brown. Fusarium inoculation significantly suppressed development of AM colonization and decreased polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in leaves and roots of tomato. Inoculation with AM fungi and Fusarium maintained high PPO activity in leaves and roots. The AM colonization increased root growth of tomato, whereas Fusarium inoculation had no significant effect on tomato growth. These findings suggest that because AM fungal inoculation changes microbial communities and enhances PPO activity, it should suppress occurrence of Fusarium wilt in tomato.     

黄瓜和西芹间作对黄瓜生长及枯萎病发生的影响

为研究黄瓜与西芹间作对黄瓜生长、黄瓜枯萎病菌化感作用及田间黄瓜枯萎病发生的影响,本试验采用室内不同土壤浸提液培养黄瓜枯萎病菌和田间测定黄瓜生长与枯萎病病情指数的方法,探讨与西芹间作土壤浸提液对黄瓜枯萎病菌的化感作用和田间防病效果。结果表明:与西芹间作促进了黄瓜营养生长,降低了第1雌花节位,增加了1~30节内雌花数;与西芹间作土壤浸提液培养的黄瓜枯萎病菌菌落直径最小,分别与西芹单作和黄瓜单作达显著性差异(P0.05);黄瓜与西芹间作土壤的乙醇、丙酮和蒸馏水浸提液均对黄瓜枯萎病菌具有一定化感作用,且表现为抑制作用,化感效果可达38.11%~75.90%;且乙醇浸提液培养的枯萎病菌菌落直径最小,与丙酮和蒸馏水浸提液达极显著差异(P0.01)。采用上述3种土壤田间种植黄瓜,在黄瓜第1片真叶期接种黄瓜枯萎病菌,降低了黄瓜枯萎病的病情指数,对比黄瓜单作和西芹单作的抑病效果可达57.03%~72.15%。因此,黄瓜与西芹间作对黄瓜枯萎病菌具有一定化感抑制效果,能够有效降低田间黄瓜枯萎病的发生,为黄瓜土传病害的化感防控提供科学依据。     

Evaluation of Streptomyces spp. for the biological control of corky root of tomato and Verticillium wilt of eggplant

The effects of Streptomyces spp. isolates in the biological control of corky root of tomato and Verticillium wilt of eggplant was determined in in vitro, greenhouse and field trials. Twenty-six Streptomyces spp. isolates were obtained from the rhizospheres of different vegetable crops in southern Italy. In in vitro dual culture tests, mycelial radial growth of Pyrenochaeta lycopersici and Verticillium dahliae was reduced up to 18.6% and 30.1%, respectively. Radial growth of seven other fungal pathogens was variably reduced as well. The isolates StB-3, StB-6, StB-11 and StB-12 showed a good antagonistic effect against both P. lycopersici and V. dahliae, while the rest of isolates eventually showed antagonism against only one pathogen.In pot-experiments in the greenhouse three of the four above-mentioned Streptomyces spp. isolates significantly reduced corky root up to 64.9% (StB-11), and all four isolates reduced foliar symptoms of Verticillium wilt (AUDPC) up to 48.3%, but none of them reduced the severity of vascular browning. In naturally infested field trials, StB-11 significantly reduced corky root severity in tomato by 48.2%, StB-12 by 35% and StB-6 by 32.6%, but none of the isolates were effective in controlling Verticillium wilt of eggplant. The effectiveness of the streptomycete AtB-42, successfully used in previous researches, was here confirmed as it reduced corky root of tomato in the field by 33.6%. In conclusion, our research demonstrates that under field conditions corky root of tomato, but not Verticillium wilt of eggplant, can be effectively controlled by the Streptomyces spp. isolates used in this study.     

大棚土壤接种丛枝菌根真菌增强黄瓜枯萎病抑制水平

A pot experiment was conducted to study the plant growth and fruit yields of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) on a greenhouse soil with or without inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum under unsterilized conditions. Two AMF inocula were tested: only one AMF strain Glomus caledonium 90036 and an AMF consortium mainly consisting of Glomus spp. and Acaulospora spp. There were four treatments including no inoculation (control), inoculation with F. oxysporum but without mycorrhizae (FO), inoculation with F. oxysporum and G. caledonium (FO+M1), and inoculation with F. oxysporum and the AMF consortium (FO+M2). Cucumber plants were harvested at weeks 3 and 9 after transplanting. Compared with the control, the FO treatment without AMF inoculation had less biomass both at weeks 3 and 9 (P < 0.05) and had higher incidence of Fusarium wilt and produced no cucumber fruit at week 9. Both FO+M1 and FO+M2 treatments had higher mycorrhizal colonization than the treatments which received no AMF inoculation at week 3 (P < 0.05), but only the FO+M2 treatment elevated plant biomass, decreased the incidence of Fusarium wilt, and improved cucumber yields to the same level as the control at week 9. The results indicated that the AMF consortium could suppress Fusarium wilt of cucumber and, therefore, showed potential as a biological control agent in greenhouse agroecosystems.     

Seed priming with Pseudomonas putida isolated from rhizosphere triggers innate resistance against Fusarium wilt in tomato through pathogenesis-related protein activation and phenylpropanoid pathway

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are one of the major and preliminary proteins accumulated as a defense against biotic stress. This defense response can be induced by using beneficial rhizobacteria, which has been studied in various host-pathogen interactions. In the present study, eleven Pseudomonas isolates were assessed for their potential to ferment sorbitol, reduce nitrate, and produce mycolytic enzymes, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase, phenazine antibiotics, and N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). All isolates were tested against the host-specific pathogen Fusarium oxysporum MTCC1755 in tomato under greenhouse conditions, and shortlisted isolates were tested for their rhizosphere competence. In-vitro test results showed that the isolates were able to produce mycolytic enzymes, including protease, lipase, chitinase, cellulase, and amylase, and the antibiotic phenazine and were negative for pyoluteorin. All the isolates except two were positive for ACC deaminase production. Greenhouse results showed that the isolates M80, M96, and T109 significantly reduced symptoms of Fusarium wilt. Extended greenhouse tests under autoclaved and unautoclaved soil conditions showed that M80, M96, and T109 were excellent rhizosphere competitors and were identified as Pseudomonas putida. In brief, the defense-specific biochemical variations in the host could describe the improved defense against Fusarium wilt occurring in the primed plants. These three Pseudomonas strains could be used as potential biocontrol agents, along with their rhizosphere competence.     

西芹根物质浸提液处理后黄瓜叶片内几种氮代谢物质含量的变化

以黄瓜品种"津春4号"为材料,在黄瓜植株第1片真叶长至宽5 cm时,使用西芹鲜根及根际区物的乙醇、丙酮和蒸馏水浸提液对黄瓜植株进行化感处理(灌根),测定处理后黄瓜叶片内几种氮代谢物质含量的变化,从氮代谢角度研究西芹鲜根及根际区物浸提液处理后黄瓜植株对黄瓜枯萎病菌的化感抑制作用机理。结果表明:处理后黄瓜叶片内可溶性蛋白质、氨、丝氨酸、精氨酸、脯氨酸与总氨基酸含量均高于对照,含量达到峰值时分别较丙酮对照增加10.58%、18.31%、6.54%、3.10%、9.64%和3.16%,而硝酸盐、甘氨酸和蛋氨酸含量则低于对照,含量达到最低值时分别较丙酮对照降低7.52%、3.41%和15.55%。对于不同西芹根物质浸提液处理,丙酮浸提液处理的氮代谢物质含量变化最显著,乙醇浸提液处理次之,蒸馏水浸提液处理变化最低,西芹鲜根浸提液处理的氮代谢物质含量变化高于西芹根际区物浸提液处理。     

有机肥对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果及防病机理研究

通过盆栽试验与培养皿培养试验研究了有机肥对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果,并对其防病机理进行了初步探讨。结果表明,有机肥可有效抑制黄瓜枯萎病的发生,其防病效果受肥料用量、施肥方式、肥料灭菌状况等因素的综合影响。有机肥用量越大,防治效果越好,在出苗50 d后,用量为5%的牛粪与生物有机肥处理较用量为1%的处理发病率降低约34.01%~36.80%;基施较叶面喷施发病率降低66.82%~78.92%,基施和喷施较对照发病率分别降低76.65%~81.17%和17.11%~25.43%;有机肥灭菌后会降低其对黄瓜枯萎病的防治效果,用量为1%和5%的灭菌牛粪处理的黄瓜发病率较未灭菌处理升高18.27%和82.82%;先对土壤进行化学灭菌后再施用有机肥,黄瓜枯萎病的发病率较土壤未化学灭菌处理的发病率降低50%。有机肥对黄瓜枯萎病的防治机理主要在于有机肥可以丰富土壤微生物,并直接抑制黄瓜枯萎病病原菌尖孢镰刀菌的生长,同时有机肥中的微生物及化学物质还能够刺激植物使其增强抗病性。     

Succinic acid inhibited growth and pathogenicity of in vitro soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum

Abstract

To clarify possible mechanisms of interaction of soil–plant–microbe for fusarium wilt of watermelon, succinic acid was added into the media to test its effect on in vitro Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in the ecological and biogeochemical cycling of soil–plant–microbe. Results showed that succinic acid decreased the growth and conidia germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum. The biomass and the conidia germinating rate were reduced by 10.1–59.8% and 14.4–21.4% respectively. Mycotoxin production and pathogenic enzyme activity by the fungus were suppressed at higher concentrations of succinic acid. Results suggested that succinic acid would not increase the risk of Fusarium oxysporum attacking plants, animals and humans due to its inhibition of fungus in the ecological and biogeochemical cycling of succinic acid in the interaction of soil–plant–microbe.     

Effects of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria and N Source on Plant Growth and N and P Uptake by Tomato Grown on Calcareous Soils

Introducing specific microorganisms into the soil ecological system is an important strategy for improving nutrient use efficiency. Two pot experiments were conducted in the greenhouse from December 3, 2012 to January 25, 2013 (Experiment 1) and March 11 to April 23, 2013 (Experiment 2) to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) source and inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plant growth and N and phosphorus (P) uptake in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) grown on calcareous soils from South Florida, USA. Treatments included urea, controlled release urea (a controlled release fertilizer, CRF) each at low and high N rates and with or without inoculation of PGPR. A mixture of PGPR strains Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IN937a and Bacillus pumilus T4 was applied to the soil during growing periods of tomato. Treatments with PGPR inoculation increased plant height compared to treatments without PGPR in both experiments. Inoculation with PGPR increased shoot dry weight and shoot N uptake for the same N rate and N source. In both experiments, only at high N rate, CRF and urea treatments with PGPR had significantly (P < 0.05) greater shoot biomass than those without PGPR. Only at high N rate, CRF treatment with PGPR significantly increased shoot N uptake by 39.0% and 10.3% compared to that without PGPR in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively. Meanwhile, presence of PGPR in the soil increased shoot P uptake for all treatments in Experiment 1 and for most treatments in Experiment 2. In Experiment 1, only at low N rate, CRF treatment with PGPR significantly increased shoot P uptake compared with that without PGPR. In Experiment 2, a significant increase in shoot P uptake by inoculation of PGPR was only observed in CRF treatment at high N rate. Results from this study indicate that inoculation with PGPR may increase plant growth and N and P uptake by tomato grown on calcareous soils. However, the effect of PGPR varied and was influenced by many factors such as N source, N rate, and soil fertility. Further investigations are warranted to confirm the effect of PGPR under different soil conditions.     

土壤生物消毒对土壤改良、青枯菌抑菌及番茄生长的影响

针对目前作物集约化和单一化种植所造成的土壤连作障碍以及退化问题,通过土壤培养试验和田间试验研究了土壤生物消毒(土壤中添加2%的米糠、麦麸、茶籽麸后覆盖塑料薄膜,以不添加物料不覆盖为对照)对土壤特性、防控青枯病、番茄生长及产量和品质的影响,以期为土壤生物消毒法的理论研究和实践应用提供参考。结果表明,与对照相比,不同土壤生物消毒处理均能显著提高土壤温度、pH和电导率,降低土壤Eh,显著减少土壤中97.27%~99.14%青枯菌数量;同时显著增加土壤有机质、全氮、碱解氮和速效钾含量,而对全磷和全钾影响不显著。不同土壤生物消毒处理能显著降低青枯病发病率29.41%~42.65%。此外,土壤生物消毒显著提高番茄叶片F_v/F_m,对光合参数净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、胞间CO_2浓度影响不显著;显著增加番茄株高(16.90%~29.15%)和产量(41.41%~56.25%);果实糖酸比、可溶性糖含量也有所增加。以添加麦麸的生物消毒在提高pH、防控青枯病及提高产量的效果最佳。综合来看,作为一种非化学土壤消毒方法,土壤生物消毒在改良土壤、防控土传病害青枯病和促进番茄生长方面表现出较好的优势,值得推广应用。     

三种不同利用方式土壤上黄瓜根际微生物群落差异

蔬菜塑料大棚是一种高度集约化利用的设施农业类型,在太湖地区一般由原来的稻麦(或油菜)轮作或露地蔬菜改变而来。稻麦(或油菜)轮作或露地蔬菜改为蔬菜塑料大棚后,土壤养分高度累积,出现了次生盐渍化和酸化的现象[1-2]。可能受土壤酸化和次生盐渍化的影响,蔬菜塑料大棚土壤     

土壤消毒结合施用生物有机肥对西瓜病土改良效果的影响

选取西瓜枯萎病发病严重的大棚,设置5个处理:对照、棉隆熏蒸、棉隆熏蒸后种植西瓜过程中施用不同次数生物有机肥,研究棉隆消毒土壤及配合不同生物有机肥施用次数对土壤理化和生物学性质及西瓜枯萎病发病率的影响。结果表明:棉隆熏蒸土壤后,施用生物有机肥虽未减缓尖孢镰刀菌增长速率、降低西瓜枯萎病发病率,但显著增加了土壤细菌和真菌数量,改变了细菌和真菌群落结构。此外,施用生物有机肥会降低土壤pH,过量施用会导致土壤NO–3累积、盐分增加。从改良土壤微生物群落结构和避免NO–3累积及土壤盐渍化加重角度出发,种植西瓜过程中生物有机肥最佳施用方式为移栽时施用1次+种植过程中追施1～2次。     

西芹鲜根浸提液作用后黄瓜枯萎病菌弱毒菌株的筛选

结合室内化感抑菌作用试验和温室人工接菌盆栽试验, 研究了西芹鲜根浸提液连续处理对黄瓜枯萎病菌菌丝生长的影响及病菌致病力的变化。结果表明, 在连续5代浸提液作用下, 50 mg·mL^-1的西芹鲜根丙酮、乙醇浸提液与其对照相比, 显著抑制了黄瓜枯萎病菌菌落的生长, 表现为化感抑制作用。50 mg·mL^-1的西芹鲜根蒸馏水浸提液处理只有在第3代培养过程中, 对菌落生长表现为化感抑制作用, 其他几代则既有抑制作用又有促进作用。温室人工接菌各代不同处理的黄瓜枯萎病菌进行菌株致病力测定, 并于1周开始发病后调查病情。结果显示, 连续5代继代培养后接种过程中, 西芹鲜根丙酮、乙醇、蒸馏水浸提液处理较其对照致病力降低, 表现为浸提液对黄瓜枯萎病菌毒力的致弱作用; 且随继代培养代数的增加, 病菌的致病力表现为逐渐降低。继代培养至第5代时, 丙酮浸提液处理的致病力为0, 表现为致弱作用最强。试验通过西芹鲜根浸提液的连续处理筛选到了黄瓜枯萎病菌的弱毒菌株。     

Trichoderma harzianum T-E5 significantly affects cucumber root exudates and fungal community in the cucumber rhizosphere

The Fusarium wilt in cucumbers, caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, is a serious and destructive disease worldwide. An effort was made to explore the role of Trichoderma harzianum T-E5 in reducing the incidence of Fusarium wilt. Three treatments (Control, T1, and T2) were established in the greenhouse experiment. The effects of T-E5 on the composition of root exudates and fungal community in the cucumber rhizosphere were measured. Compared with the control, the application of a bio-organic fertilizer (BIO) enriched with T-E5 was found to decrease the incidence of Fusarium wilt notably and promote the growth of cucumber plants. Based on real-time PCR, the population of F. oxysporum in the control without T-E5 increased from 10³ to 10⁴ ITS copies g⁻¹ soil, whereas the population decreased from 10³ to 10² ITS copies g⁻¹ soil in the T1 and T2 treatment groups when T-E5 was included. Significant difference in fungal community was also found among the treatment groups. HPLC analysis showed that the detected levels of phenolic compounds in control were significantly higher than the levels in the samples subjected to T1 and T2 treatments. The root exudates from the control group significantly increased the numbers of germinating spores of the pathogen compared with those from the samples treated with T1 and T2. In conclusion, the modification of root exudates and the fungal community by the application of BIO might account for the effective suppression of Fusarium wilt disease in cucumbers.     

三种堆肥对番茄生长及青枯病防治效果的影响

合理施用堆肥能够有效地改善植物的生长条件和土壤的生态环境,从而提高植物对病害的抗性。通过盆栽试验,研究了药渣、 污泥和猪粪三种堆肥以不同比例与泥炭混合对番茄植株生长和番茄青枯病防治的影响。结果表明: 三种不同堆肥均能促进番茄植株生长,其中猪粪堆肥对番茄生长的促进效果最显著,当泥炭与猪粪的混合比例为3∶1时效果最好,当收获番茄植株时,其鲜重和干重较泥炭基础基质处理分别提高了29.8%和41.2%,污泥堆肥次之,药渣堆肥最差; 三种不同堆肥都能抑制青枯病的发生,药渣堆肥对番茄青枯病的抑制效果最明显,当泥炭与药渣的混合比例为4∶1时效果最好,在番茄植株移栽33d 时,其病情指数较泥炭基础基质降低了66.7%,污泥堆肥次之,猪粪堆肥最差。添加不同堆肥使得盆栽基质的理化性质、 酶活性和可培养微生物的数量发生了不同的变化,推测可能是上述因素的变化使其对番茄的生长和青枯病的防治效果产生了明显的差异。
