Abstract: This invention provides an isolate of Chaetomium globosum, which is numbered as 12XP1-2-3, preserved by China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 17183 on Jan. 23, 2019. This invention also provides an application of Chaetomium globosum in wheat growth promotion and yield increase. The results of field trials showed that by coating wheat seeds with Chaetomium globosum 12XP1-2-3, the chlorophyll content of leaves can be increased by 1.9%-14.7% at booting stage, and the wheat yield can be increased by 2.3%-10.9%.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides use of a Chaetomium globosum strain in controlling Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat. The C. globosum strain under the deposit designation of 12XP1-2-3 is deposited at China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on Jan. 23, 2019 with an accession number of CGMCC No. 17183. Field experiments conclude that coating of wheat seeds with Chaetomium globosum strain 12XP1-2-3 can reduce diseased stem rate, disease rating, and disease index by 19.0%-41.3%, 43.7%, and 4.7%-45.4%, respectively.
