Bio-herbicidal potential of wheat rhizosphere bacteria on Avena fatua L. grass

In order to isolated and identified the bacterial strains from wheat rhizosphere and evaluated the effect of different concentration of bacterial fermentation broth on the wild oats weed growth. This experiment carried out the separation and purification of dominant bacterial strains from the wheat rhizosphere soil, and performed the fermentation broth biological activity assessment by measured the seed germination and plant growth from 20 wheat varieties. The results had shown that the bacterial fermentation broth inhibits the growth of wild oat seedlings and plants to varying degrees, bacterial strains of X3, X4, X8, X12, X16 and X20 has certain level of inhibition activity and X20 has the highest herbicidal effectiveness. According to molecular biology identification, obtained superior bacterial strains X20 was Bacillus as potentially inhibitor for developing of bacterial-based bioherbicides for wild oats weed control management in the wheat field.

Automated summary

The research demonstrated that bacterial fermentation broth inhibits the growth of wild oats, with strain X20 showing the highest herbicidal effectiveness. This indicates the potential for developing bacterial-based bioherbicides for wild oats weed control in wheat fields.
