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

mycolabadmin

Researchers isolated two beneficial bacteria strains (Streptomyces) from soil around morel mushrooms that can effectively fight a fungal disease causing morel wilting. These bacteria produce natural compounds that kill the disease-causing fungus while also promoting healthier mushroom growth. When used in field tests, these bacterial treatments reduced disease and increased morel yield by nearly 30% compared to untreated crops, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.

Development of a granular bioformulation of Achromobacter xylosoxidans AX77 16S for sustainable onion white rot management and growth enhancement

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a beneficial bacterium living inside onion seeds that can fight a serious fungal disease called white rot and help seeds grow better. They turned this bacterium into an easy-to-use granular product that lasts up to a year, offering farmers an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides. The product not only prevents the fungal disease but also improves seed germination and plant growth, making it a promising sustainable solution for onion farming.
