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

mycolabadmin

Morel mushrooms are delicious and nutritious but are threatened by a fungal disease that can destroy up to 80% of crops. Scientists discovered that two beneficial bacteria species (Streptomyces) from morel soil produce compounds that kill the disease-causing fungus. When applied to morel fields, these beneficial bacteria not only prevented the disease but also increased mushroom yields by about 30% compared to untreated crops, offering a natural and sustainable solution for morel farmers.

Morels are valuable mushrooms threatened by fungal wilt disease in China. Researchers isolated two beneficial bacteria (Streptomyces) from morel soil that naturally fight the fungal disease. When applied to morel fields, these bacteria reduced disease and increased mushroom yield by 30% compared to untreated fields. This represents a natural, eco-friendly solution to protect morel crops and boost production without chemical fungicides.

Codonopsis tangshen is an important medicinal plant in China, but it suffers from a serious fungal disease called violet root rot when grown repeatedly in the same soil. Researchers found that treating soil with dazomet fumigant followed by azoxystrobin fungicide completely eliminated this disease while dramatically increasing plant yields. The treatment works by reducing the harmful fungus while promoting growth of beneficial soil microbes that naturally suppress disease.

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.

Researchers found that treating soil with a combination of dazomet fumigant and azoxystrobin fungicide effectively eliminated violet root rot disease in Codonopsis tangshen plants grown repeatedly on the same land. The treatment worked by killing harmful disease-causing fungi while promoting beneficial soil bacteria that protect plant roots. This approach increased crop yield by 5-6 fold while maintaining important medicinal compounds in the plant roots, offering farmers a sustainable solution to a serious agricultural problem.
