I. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to methods to suppress bacterial and fungal disease in roots and tubers. More specifically, the present invention is directed to methods for achieving such results by treating the plant tissue, seed, and surrounding soil with Bacillus firmus bacteria.
II. Description of the Background
Potato scab (Streptomyces scabies) is a common tuber disease. The disease occurs throughout the world. Scab does not usually affect total yields. However, significant economic losses may result from reduced marketability of the tubers.
While superficial scab lesions do not greatly affect the marketability of processing potatoes deep-pitted lesions do. The disease increases peeling losses and affects the appearance of the harvested or processed product.
Scab begins when tubers start forming. Initially the spots may be so small that they cannot be seen. As the tuber grows the infected areas have reddish-brown spots that also grow. In any thimbleful of soil there may occur thousands, or even millions of individuals belonging to the genus Streptomyces. These are actinomycetes. They have characteristics placing them between bacteria and fungi. Not all of the Streptomyces organisms recovered from the soil can cause scab on potatoes. Collectively these usually are grouped under the name Streptomyces scabies. S. scabies can live on decomposing material in the soil and do not require a potato or a root crop to remain alive. The disease does become more aggressive on any given crop if the same crop is grown without rotation. The organism infects the tuber by means of a tiny thread that pushes directly through the skin of the forming potato. It slowly continues to grow until the crop is harvested. The infected areas on the potato respond at once by laying down a corky layer. As each layer is invaded by the scab organism, new cork formation takes place until a mature scab spot is produced.
Until now there has not been an economically viable and environmentally friendly method to reduce scab infection of potato.
Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a fungal disease of soybeans caused by Fusarium solani and has caused substantial soybean yield reductions. The disease has spread over the last couple of decades. Soybean yield losses from SDS can range from slight to total. Actual yield loss depends on when plants become infected. The earlier the infection occurs in the crop life the greater the severity of the disease and the greater the loss. SDS is often first observed infesting round or elliptical patches in fields. Over time the infested area can spread through the entire field.
Disease symptoms usually appear after flowering and during pod fill. Typical foliar symptoms of SDS begin, as small chlorotic spots on leaves. The spots coalesce until the entire intervenal tissue of leaf is chlorotic. The chlorosis progresses to necrosis giving the leaves a fired look. The dead interveinal tissue falls from the leaf giving the leaf a tattered appearance. The leaf veins remain green and the leaves often drop off the plant leaving bare petioles still attached to the plant stems.
Foliar symptoms progress quickly, thus the name “sudden death.” In severely infected plants, the roots are rotted near the crown, and plants can be easily pulled from the soil. The outer cambial tissue of SDS infected stems exhibit rot but the stem's pith remains white. The causal agent of SDS, Fusarium solani, produces slow-growing blue colored fungal colonies with macroconidia on infected roots about 10 cm below the soil surface. The blue colonies sometimes can be observed with the naked eye.
The Bacillus firmus bacteria have found prior use. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,007 Pedersen, et al., disclosed a series of steps for hydrolysis of raw meat. The protease hydrolysis enzyme may be provided by B. firmus. The hydrolyzate can be used as a flavoring additive for soup concentrates. In U.S. Pat. No. 6,406,690 Peleg , et al., disclosed methods for controlling plant-pathogenetic nematodes which include the use of B. firmus bacteria.
Until now there have been no economically viable, or, environmentally friendly methods to suppress soil born potato scab. There are no environmentally friendly methods to suppress Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome. This invention works to solve those needs.
The present invention generally relates to methods to suppress bacterial and fungal disease in roots and tubers. More specifically, the present invention is directed to methods for achieving such results by treating the plant tissue, seed, and surrounding soil with Bacillus firmus bacteria.
A Bacillus firmus was cultured in a liquid spore-producing medium. Once the population of spores was sufficient (108 CFU's per ml) the suspension was applied to the plant soil surrounding potato plants at hilling. The treatments consisted of a control group, a group with an applied rate of a half-gallon per acre of the suspension, and, a group with an applied rate of one gallon per acre of the suspension. During the growing season samples of the tubers were harvested from the treated and untreated portions of the field and visually inspected for common potato scab. Unbelievably, the Bacillus firmus suspension treatment had no visible scab. It is believed the application of the Bacillus firmus prior to, or at, planting would further protect plants from many soil born diseases.
The liquid culture produced in Example 1 was used in a replicated field trial. The material was again applied to potatoes, at hilling, at a rate of ½ gallon per acre. Several months later at harvest seventy-five tubers from each replication were pulled randomly from the field. Each tuber was inspected for deep-pitted lesions. The results are listed below.
The results show a 58.3% reduction in deep-pitted scab infection with the application of Bacillus firmus to the soil during the growing season. It is believed the application of the Bacillus firmus prior to, or at, planting would further protect plants from many soil born diseases.
The liquid culture produced in Example 1 was used to coat soybean seed prior to planting. The rate was 2 ounces per 100 pound of seed. Throughout the growing season the following data were collected. Using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being no infection and 5 being severe infection, we noticed the following in the crop. In all fields observed the average score for untreated areas were rated 2.6 for sudden death. The average score for areas treated with B. firmus in those same fields was 1.2. While the B. firmus did not completely stop the sudden death it did significantly reduce the severity on the disease. Other observations: areas treated with B. firmus had uniform emergence and even ripening. The untreated areas in these plots had uneven emergence and harvest was delayed 3 days due to uneven ripening.
The liquid culture produced in Example I was blended with an admix fertilizer and applied to the seed and surrounding soil at planting. Ratings taken throughout the growing season were collected. The ratings were made for visible disease pressure from the fungus' Phytophthora, Pythium, White Mold, Sudden Death, Rhizoctonia, and, Brown stem rot. Using a rating scale from I to 10, where 10 was no infection, and 1 being severe or total field infection, the following ratings were noted:
Discussion of Possible Components for Admixes:
For their practical application, the compounds according to this invention are rarely used on their own. Instead they generally form part of formulations which also comprise a support and/or a surfactant in addition to active materials
In the context of the invention, a support is an organic or mineral, natural or synthetic material with which the active material is associated to facilitate its application, for example, in the case of fertilizer and fungicides, to the plant, to seeds or to soil, or to facilitate its transportation or handling. The support can be solid (e.g, clays, natural or synthetic silicates, resins, waxes, solid fertilizer and fungicides) or fluid (e.g., water, alcohols, ketones, petroleum fractions, chlorinated hydrocarbons, liquefied gases, liquid fertilizer and fungicides).
The surfactant can be an ionic or non-ionic emulsifier, dispersant or wetting agent such as, for example, salts of polyacrylic acids and lignin-sulphonic acids, condensates of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols, fatty acids or fatty amines.
The compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention can be prepared in the form of wettable powders, soluble powders, dusting powders, granulates, solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, suspended concentrates and aerosols.
The wettable powders according to the invention can be prepared in such a way that they contain the active material, and they often or typically contain, in addition to a solid support, a wetting agent, a dispersant and, when necessary, one or more stabilizers and/or other additives, such as, for example, penetration agents, adhesives or anti-lumping agents, colorants etc.
Aqueous dispersions and emulsions, such as, for example, compositions comprising the compounds of this invention obtained by diluting with water a wettable powder or an emulsifiable concentrate are also included within the general scope of the invention. These emulsions can be of the water-in-oil type or of the oil-in-water type, and can have a thick consistency resembling that of a “mayonnaise”.
The compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention can contain other ingredients, for example protective colloids, adhesives or thickeners, thixotropic agents, stabilizers or sequestrants, as well as other active materials. A modest list of examples of possible formulation components for inclusion with the compositions of this invention follows without limitation.
