Abstract
The effects of S-921 strain (Streptomyces aureus) and its fermented broth on apple tree canker, Valsa mali,were tested by plating and free culture methods. The results shown that the S-921 strain had a strong antibiotic effect. An inhibiting circle with a diameter of 30-40 mm was produced on the PDA plate in which the S-921 strain and V. mali were inoculated. V. mali lost its pathogenicity when treated with the fermented broth for 12 hr. Results of the free culture indicated that the best effect was produced when the canker was treated with the fermented broth following scraping off the canker spot. The rate of cure could reach up to 100%. The method of cutting canker spot (2-3 mm apart) and treating with the fermented broth temporarily inhibited the development of canker spot, but the canker was not cured completely. It was found that the fermented broth caused lysis of V. mali. The vacuole of the fungus disappeared, the cytoplasm condensed, the hypha wall broke, the cytoplasm leaked and the fungus' cell degenerated.
