This research evaluated a naturally occurring bacterium called Streptomyces sporoverrucosus B-1662 as a biological alternative to chemical fungicides for controlling fungal diseases on red peppers and apples. Laboratory and field tests demonstrated that this bacterium can reduce disease symptoms by over 90%, making it a promising option for organic farmers seeking to protect their crops without synthetic chemicals. The study identified the specific compound responsible for the bacterium’s effectiveness and provided detailed information about its genetic makeup.
