Abstract

To degrade pruned fruit-tree branches rapidly, microbial preparations were prepared from the mycelia of Pycnoporus coccineus. A powdered microbial preparation gave inferior mycelial growth. Mycelial growth was observed from liquid microbial preparations for 5 months at 20 and 35°C. Decrease in both weight and basic specific gravity of sterilized branches inoculated with liquid and solid microbial preparations was significantly less than that of controls. The result was the same for unsterilized branches inoculated with a solid microbial preparation. Moreover, the weight loss of pear branches crushed to 5.5-10 mm and inoculated with a solid microbial preparation was greater than that of branches crushed to 10-50 mm. In terms of degradation ability, it was clarified that a solid microbial preparation from mycelia of Pycnoporus coccineus degrades pruned branches rapidly.
