Abstract:

In order to study the effects of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) and its fermentation broth as microbial fertilizer on pakchoi growth and soil nutrients, so as to provide basis for chemical fertilizer reduction and sustainable agricultural development, Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L. was taken as the research object, the pot experiment was carried out by using the γ-PGA producing bacterium A-5 and its fermentation product. Then, the effects of γ-PGA and γ-PGA fermentation broth on the quality of pakchoi, soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities were measured, and the N/P fertilizer use efficiencies and economic benefits were calculated. The pot experiment proved that the γ-PGA and γ-PGA fermentation broth produced by A-5 had better growth-promoting and synergistic effects. Compared with the treatment of nitrogen fertilizer reduced by 30% (-N), pure γ-PGA (-N+PGA) and γ-PGA fermentation broth (-N+FJY) increased vegetable yield by 20.19% and 37.63% respectively, and the -N+FJY treatment had better growth promoting effect. Under the treatment of γ-PGA fermentation broth, containing a large amount of B.subtilis sp. A-5, the fertilizer utilization rate of N/P were significantly higher than other treatments, which had higher economic benefits than γ-PGA. In summary, γ-PGA acid fermentation produced by B.subtilis sp. A-5 has the significant effects on promoting vegetable growth and improving fertilizer utilization ratio, which can provide a basis for its application in agriculture.

Key words: γ-polyglutamic acid, pakchoi, Bacillus subtilis, fermentation, fertilizer utilization rate, economic benefit
