Effects of Bacillus and a Plant Growth Regulator for Provenance Propagation of Moss Biocrusts
[Objective] The effects of Bacillus and a plant growth regulator on the growth and development of moss biocrusts were studied in order to provide a scientific basis for improving the provenance propagation efficiency of moss biocrusts.[Methods] A two-factor complete experiment was designed to observe the coverage
height
and density of moss biocrusts under greenhouse conditions by selecting Bacillus(B. mucilaginosus/B. megaterium) and growth regulator (Thidiazuron
TDZ) as the two variables.[Results] ① The growth status was optimal after the addition of B. mucilaginosus
which increased the coverage (+18.9%)
height (+0.85 mm)
and density (+15.44 strains/cm) compared to the control group (no Bacillus and growth regulator). ② After the addition of B. megaterium
the density of moss biocrusts increased (+5.76 strains/cm2); however
the height decreased (-0.78 mm) and the coverage was not significantly changed. ③ Treatment with TDZ reduced the coverage (-11.78%) and height (-3.33 mm); however
it had no significant effect on the density of moss biocrusts. ④ The growth status of BSC was significantly affected by the interaction of Bacillus and TDZ. The combination treatment of B. megaterium and TDZ increased the density of moss biocrusts (+9.79 strains/cm2) and was higher than that of the treatment where only B. megaterium was added (+3.67 strains/cm2). Additionally
the combined treatment of B. mucilaginosus and TDZ increased the density of moss biocrusts (+4.3 strains/cm2); however
it weakened the positive effect of B. mucilaginosus (-11.14 strains/cm2).[Conclusion] The effects of functional microorganisms and a growth regulator on the growth and development of moss biocrusts are very significant
which should be considered during the practice of provenance propagation of moss biocrusts.
