Research Progress of Bacillus subtilis in Wheat Growth Promotion and Disease Control

Wheat is one of the main food crops in the world, and its output is related to the world food security. In recent years, with the change of climate conditions and the overuse of chemical pesticides, the growing environment of wheat is facing severe challenges, and wheat diseases occur frequently, which seriously affects the growth and yield of wheat. As a new type of green growth promotion and control measures, biological control provides a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way for crops to cope with the challenges of the growing environment. Bacillus subtilis is a kind of PGPR widely found in plant rhizosphere soil. It has strong broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and resistance to stress. In this paper, the mechanism of Bacillus subtilis in promoting wheat growth and the control principle and effect of pathogenic bacteria in wheat were reviewed, and the existing problems were analyzed and prospected in order to provide reference for the application of Bacillus subtilis in agricultural field.
