Rotations with Indian Mustard and Wild Rocket Suppressed Cucumber Fusarium Wilt Disease and Changed Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities.

ABSTRACT: Crop monocropping usually results in an enrichment of soil-borne pathogens in soil. Crop rotation is an environmentally friendly method for controlling soil-borne diseases. Plant rhizosphere microorganisms, especially plant-beneficial microorganisms, play a major role in protecting plants from pathogens, but responses of these microorganisms to crop rotation remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the effects of rotations with Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) and wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC.) on cucumber Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum Owen (FOC). Cucumber rhizosphere bacterial community composition was analyzed by high-throughput amplicon sequencing. Bacteria, Pseudomonas spp., 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (an antifungal secondary metabolite) producer and FOC abundances were estimated by real-time PCR. Rotations with Indian mustard and wild rocket suppressed cucumber Fusarium wilt disease and cucumber rhizosphere FOC abundance. Crop rotations increased cucumber rhizosphere bacteria, Pseudomonas spp. and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol producer abundances. Moreover, crop rotations changed cucumber rhizosphere bacterial community composition and increased bacterial community diversity. However, crop rotations decreased soil inorganic nitrogen content and inhibited cucumber seedling growth. Overall, rotations with Indian mustard and wild rocket suppressed cucumber Fusarium wilt disease, which might be linked to the increased rhizosphere bacterial diversity and abundances of potential plant-beneficial microorganisms (such as Pseudomonas spp. and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol producer).

Project description:Cucumber Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a devastating disease of cucumber and leads to enormous economic losses worldwide. The antagonistic bacterium Bacillus velezensis NH-1 suppresses F. oxysporum For a higher biological control effect, control-released microcapsules of NH-1 were prepared using cell immobilization technology. NH-1 cells were embedded in combinations of the biodegradable wall materials sodium alginate, chitosan, and cassava-modified starch to prepare control-released microbiological microcapsules. For the preparation of alginate single-layer microcapsules, the highest embedding rate of 72.60% was obtained by applying 3% sodium alginate and 2% calcium chloride. After the application of monolayer alginate microcapsules in soil, the number of bacterial cells corresponded to a sustained release curve, and the survival rate of NH-1 was higher than the control in which soil was directly irrigated with NH-1 broth. The use of 0.8% chitosan (pH 3.0) and 0.5% cassava-modified starch in the preparation of double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules changed the performance of the microcapsules and increased the embedding rate. After dry storage for 65 days, the number of NH-1 cells was at the highest level in the monolayer microcapsules. In the field experiment, the control efficiency of alginate-coated monolayer microcapsules on Fusarium wilt was 100%, which was significantly higher than for the NH-1 culture and double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules. Collectively, sodium alginate is an ideal wall material for preparing slow-release bacterial microcapsules to control cucumber Fusarium wilt. Monolayer alginate microcapsules retard the release of B. velezensis NH-1 in soils and significantly improve its biocontrol efficiency on cucumber Fusarium wilt.IMPORTANCEBacillus species are often used for the biocontrol of various plant pathogens, but the control efficiency of Bacillus is usually unstable in field experiments. To improve the control efficiency of Bacillus, in this study, microcapsules of Bacillus velezensis strain NH-1 were prepared using different wall materials (sodium alginate, chitosan, and cassava-modified starch). It was found that the control efficiency of alginate-coated monolayer microcapsules on Fusarium wilt was 100% in field experiments, which was higher than for NH-1 culture and double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules. This study provides a new approach for preparing a biocontrol agent against Fusarium wilt with high biocontrol efficiency.
