The biopotential of extremophilic microorganisms isolated from Kuzbass for protection and growth stimulation of oat (Avena sativa L.)

Abstract

Biological plant protection products are extensively utilized in agriculture owing to their safety, efficacy, and environmental friendliness. The utilization of these funds in locales with challenging weather patterns is constrained. In order to ensure the successful use of biological plant protection products, it is rational to search for microorganisms adapted to the specific soil and climatic conditions of the territory. The objective of the investigation is to evaluate the antagonistic and growth-stimulating properties of the consortium of extremophilic microorganisms of Kuzbass, and to conduct laboratory testing on oats (Avena sativa L.). The work used microorganisms isolated at the initial stages of the research, such as Leclercia sp., Sphingomonas paucimobilis, and Lactobacillus plantarum. The findings revealed that these microorganisms are capable of producing gibberellic acid, dissolving phosphates, and retaining atmospheric nitrogen. Furthermore, the co-cultivation of microorganisms facilitates the enhancement of these indicators. The negative impact of phytopathogens (Alternaria alternata (F-525), Fusarium graminearum (F-877) PH-1, Fusarium graminearum (F-892) and Fusarium sporotrichioides (F-902)) on oats in laboratory conditions was reduced by a consortium based on these microorganisms. Therefore, the consortium has the potential to develop commercial drugs. Field experiments are planned in the future.
