Abstract: In order to obtain an antagonistic bacterium with good control effect against maize stalk rot disease, the antagonistic bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of maize, with Fusarium verticillioides as the target fungi. The antibacterial activity of different strains was determined by the confrontation method, and the strains with the best antibacterial effect were selected by inhibition zone method. The selected strains were identified and its bacteriostatic spectrum and control effect were determined. The results showed that the strain SM3-7 had obvious inhibitory effect on F. verticillioides. Based on morphological, physiological, biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis, the strain SM3-7 was identified as Streptomyces sclerogranulatus. This strain had a broad antibacterial spectrum and had good inhibitory effect against 8 plant pathogens on corn, and inhibition zone diameter was (28.03±0.45) mm against F. verticillioides. In pot experiment, the control efficacies of strain SM3-7 against maize stalk rot on ‘Liangyu 99’ and ‘Quanyu 1233’ varieties reached 77.28% and 76.12% in 14 days, 77.28% and 76.12% in 21 days, respectively. The results showed that SM3-7 fermentation broth could effectively control maize stalk rot, which could lay a theoretical foundation for the development of biological control products against maize stalk rot.

Key words: maize stalk rot disease, Streptomyces sclerogranulatus, screening, identification, biological control
