What economic crops can Bacillus licheniformis be used on?

      As an efficient and beneficial microorganism, Bacillus licheniformis can play a significant role in various economic crops, including promoting growth, increasing yield, and enhancing disease resistance. The following are its specific applications and effects on major cash crops:

1、 Vegetable crops

Solanaceous fruits

      Tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers: Through root irrigation or spraying, soil borne diseases and fungal diseases such as root rot, bacterial wilt, and gray mold can be effectively prevented and controlled; Promote root development, increase fruit setting rate, increase single fruit weight, reduce nitrate accumulation, and enhance fruit taste (such as the sweetness and flavor of tomatoes).

      Application case: When planting tomato in greenhouses, root irrigation with fungicide can reduce the incidence rate of fusarium wilt by 30% -50% and increase the yield by 15% -20%.

Melon

      Cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe, and luffa: Mixing seeds or spraying during the seedling stage can enhance stress resistance (such as resistance to powdery mildew and downy mildew), promote vine growth and flowering and fruiting; It has an improvement effect on soil barriers caused by continuous cropping, such as the accumulation of soil borne pathogens, especially suitable for greenhouse continuous cropping of melon crops.

      Advantages: Reducing the use of chemical pesticides can increase the soluble sugar content of watermelon and cantaloupe by 2% -5%.

leaf vegetables

      Cabbage, lettuce, spinach, celery: Spraying or flushing can accelerate leaf growth, increase chlorophyll content, and enhance photosynthesis; Prevent and control soft rot and downy mildew, extend harvest period, and reduce leaf yellowing.

      Characteristics: Leafy vegetables with short growth cycles have quick effects after use (thick green leaves can be seen within 7-10 days).

Roots

      Carrots, carrots, potatoes, ginger: Ditch application or seed block mixing can promote the swelling of root tubers, reduce the harm of root knot nematodes and root rot diseases; Improve root and stem quality (such as increasing potato starch content and making ginger more spicy).

2、 Fruit tree crops

Renguo and Drupe

      Apples, pears, peaches, and cherries: Spraying during the flowering or fruiting period can increase the fruiting rate and reduce flower and fruit drop; Root irrigation can prevent and treat root cancer and root rot, enhance tree vigor, improve fruit coloring and sweetness (such as increasing soluble solids in apples by 1% -2%).

      Advantage: It has a relieving effect on the "replanting disease" caused by continuous cropping of fruit trees, especially suitable for use in the renewal of old orchards.

Berry category

      Strawberries, grapes, and blueberries: Dipping roots or spraying during flowering can prevent and control gray mold and powdery mildew, and promote flower bud differentiation; Strawberries have fuller fruits, grape clusters are neater, and fruit cracking is reduced.

      Attention: In the high-temperature and high humidity environment of strawberry greenhouses, when used in conjunction with ventilation, the disease resistance effect is more significant.

citrus

      Oranges, oranges, and pomelos: Root irrigation during the young tree stage can promote root expansion and accelerate crown formation; The use of adult trees can reduce the occurrence of anthracnose and ulcer diseases, increase fruit yield and vitamin C content, and improve skin glossiness.

3、 Economic trees and special crops

tea tree

      Spraying or soil application can enhance the cold and drought resistance of tea trees, reduce tea cake disease and anthracnose disease; Promote the germination of new shoots, increase tea yield, and increase effective components such as tea polyphenols and amino acids to improve tea quality.

mulberry

      When used for mulberry leaf cultivation, it can prevent and control mulberry diseases, promote leaf enlargement, increase mulberry leaf yield and nutritional value (such as increasing protein content), and indirectly improve silkworm cocoon quality.

Chinese medicinal materials

      Ginseng, Panax notoginseng, wolfberry, honeysuckle: have significant effects on traditional Chinese medicinal materials with severe continuous cropping obstacles, can reduce root rot and disease, promote root development, and increase the content of effective ingredients in medicinal materials (such as ginsenosides and wolfberry polysaccharides), which meets the green planting standards for traditional Chinese medicinal materials.

4、 Other economic crops

cotton

      Seed mixing or root irrigation during the seedling stage can prevent and control cotton wilt and Verticillium wilt, promote root development and plant robustness, increase the number of bolls, and improve fiber length and strength.

tobacco

      Dipping roots during transplantation can reduce black shank disease and bacterial wilt disease, promote uniform growth of tobacco plants, and improve tobacco yield and quality (such as reducing nicotine content and improving combustibility).

flowers and plants

      Roses, lilies, and orchids: When planted in pots or greenhouses, root irrigation can prevent root rot and stem rot, prolong flowering period, enhance flower color and ornamental value, especially suitable for green cultivation of high-end flowers.

Application Summary

      The core advantage of Bacillus licheniformis lies in its wide adaptability. Whether it is short-term harvested vegetables, perennial fruit trees, or traditional Chinese medicine, it can play a role by regulating soil microecology and enhancing crop immunity. In practical applications, it is necessary to choose the appropriate application method (such as seed mixing, root irrigation, spraying) according to the crop type and growth period, and avoid mixing with fungicides to ensure the activity of live bacteria. Its application in economic crops not only increases yield, but also supports green and organic planting, which is in line with the development trend of modern agriculture.
