Microbial strains and cultivation methods that show increased yield and control of plague disease on solanaceous plants, and prevent yield reduction by continuous cropping on legumes
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microbial strain, which makes low cost cultivation possible and also has a great effect of both promoting growth and inhibiting late blight disease, concerning cultivation techniques in the seedling stage and the early growing stage after transplanting of the solanaceous plants, particularly of the genus Capsicum, and also to provide a microbial stain which has an effect of inhibiting yield decrease of leguminous plants, particularly of the genus Glycine, in the continuously cropped field.SOLUTION: The microbial strain is Arthrobacter oxydans, accession number FERM P-22038, and the cultivation method is to inoculate the seeds of solanaceous or leguminous plants with a microbial strain before growing the seeds.
