Pathogen Identification, Antagonistic Microbe Screening, and Biocontrol Strategies for Aconitum carmichaelii Root Rot

mycolabadmin

Aconitum carmichaelii is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant that has become increasingly prone to root rot disease due to continuous farming in Yunnan. Researchers identified multiple disease-causing pathogens and discovered that beneficial bacteria called Bacillus can both fight these pathogens and improve plant health. One particularly effective strain enhanced soil quality and increased the plant’s natural defenses, achieving over 50% disease control without chemical pesticides.

Synergistic effects of beneficial microbial inoculants and SMS-amendments on improving soil properties and Pinus seedling growth in degraded soils

mycolabadmin

This study shows how mixing beneficial bacteria with mushroom waste can improve poor soil quality. The bacteria help break down the mushroom waste into nutrients that plants need, while also creating a healthier soil environment full of beneficial microbes. When this treated mushroom waste was added to degraded soil and used to grow pine seedlings, the plants grew taller with thicker stems and more leaves than in untreated soil. This approach offers a practical way to recycle agricultural waste while restoring damaged soils.

Effect of Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis BGC AH01) on the Soil Bacterial Community Assembly

mycolabadmin

This study examined how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (a beneficial fungus that partners with plant roots) influence soil bacteria communities over time. Researchers grew maize plants with and without this fungus and tracked bacterial changes over 90 days. They found that the fungus creates a more stable and diverse bacterial community that reaches equilibrium around 60 days, helping improve nutrient availability for plant growth.
