Scientists studied how two beneficial microorganisms (a bacterium and a fungus) work together to produce compounds that kill plant-damaging fungi. When grown together, they produced more protective compounds than when grown separately, showing promise as a natural alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting crops and stored fruits from fungal diseases.

Scientists in China discovered a new fungal disease causing peanut root rot, identified as Ceratobasidium sp. AG-A. They tested three types of beneficial bacteria as natural pest control agents and found they effectively inhibited the disease-causing fungus while promoting peanut plant growth. These findings offer farmers an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides for managing this newly identified threat to peanut crops.
