The invention provides bacillus methylotrophicus with a collection number of CCTCC M2015297. Bacillus methylotrophicus is named bacillus methylotrophicus XK-4. The invention further provides a screening method of bacillus methylotrophicus XK-4, an application of bacillus methylotrophicus XK-4 to inhibition of sclerotinia sclerotiorum, rhizoctonia solani, fusarium solani and fusarium oxysporum and a bacillus methylotrophicus XK-4 agent. Bacillus methylotrophicus XK-4 is a rape rhizosphere microorganism, is safe to human, livestock and crops, is environment-friendly, has a wider antibacterial spectrum, has better inhibitory effects on mycelial growth of common pathogenic bacteria, such as sclerotinia sclerotiorum, rhizoctonia solani, fusarium solani and fusarium oxysporum, has obvious inhibitory effects on mycelial growth of sclerotinia sclerotiorum and causes mycelia deformation. The further prepared agent has obvious control effects on sclerotinia rot of colza, is short in production cycle and has a very extensive application prospect in biological control of plant diseases.
