A profitable function of Ceriporia lacerata HG2011 on nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

Aims: Green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a popular vegetable worldwide. The use of beneficial fungi is a simple and effective way to improve the biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of this leguminous vegetable.

Ceriporia lacerata HG2011 enhances P mobilization and wheat agronomic performance irrespective of P fertilization levels.

Aims: To identify soil phosphorus (P) mobilization and wheat agronomic performance in response to the P mobilizer Ceriporia lacerata HG2011 could provide a new strategy for improving fertilizer P efficiency in wheat cultivation.

Methods And Results: Liquid culture showed that C. lacerata HG2011 converted Ca (PO ) , FePO , AlPO , phytate, lecithin and ribonucleic acid into soluble inorganic P, which was stimulated by ammonium and urea but less influenced by P supply.

A new function of white-rot fungi Ceriporia lacerata HG2011: improvement of biological nitrogen fixation of broad bean (Vicia faba).

The inoculation of plant growth-promoting microbes with multifarious functions is a simple, economic, and effective way to improve nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of legumes. Broad bean (Vicia faba) is commonly grown in the winter in tropics and subtropics for increasing soil N and farmers' income. The new functions of Ceriporia lacerata HG2011, a white-rot fungus, in nodulation and BNF (measured by N natural abundance) were studied with the broad bean in liquid culture, soil incubation, and greenhouse pot experiments.

Phosphorus mobilization and improvement of crop agronomic performances by a new white-rot fungus Ceriporia lacerata HG2011.

Background: Some soil microorganisms can mobilize unavailable phosphorus (P) in soils for plant use and increase P fertilizer efficiency. Thus, an abiotic P solubilization experiment and fungal incubation in solution and soil were conducted to investigate the mobilization of various P compounds by a new white-rot fungus Ceriporia lacerata HG2011. The crop agronomic performances were then evaluated in the winter barley-summer maize-winter wheat rotation field.

[Effect of biopesticide Pythium oligandrum broth on gummy stem blight in cucumber seedlings, animal health and plant growth].

Objective: Biopesticides are safe and environment friendly. We evaluated the biocontrol effect of Pythium oligandrum broth (POB) and its toxicity to animals and plant growth.

Methods: Animal, antagonist, pot, and field experiments with mice, Mycosphaerella melonis, and cucumber seedlings were carried out to study animal toxicity, control of gummy stem blight, plant growth, fruit yield and quality with POB produced from self-isolated P.
