Disease: fungal pathogenic infection

Streptomyces-Based Bioformulation to Control Wilt of Morchella sextelata Caused by Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola

Researchers discovered two beneficial bacteria called Streptomyces that can protect morel mushrooms from a harmful fungus causing wilt disease. When applied to morel cultivation fields, these bacteria not only prevented disease but also increased mushroom yields by about 30% compared to untreated fields. This natural biocontrol approach offers farmers an eco-friendly alternative to chemical treatments while boosting their harvests.
