Check the effectiveness of controlling native 'actinomycetes' and pepper anthrax in Korea

Actinomycetes, a microorganism found in soil in Korea, have been shown to be effective in controlling red pepper anthrax.

The National Institute of Biological Resources under the Ministry of Environment said it has confirmed that it prevents anthrax at 98% of the chemical disinfectant Tebuconazole after diluting the culture medium 500 times and spraying it on peppers once a day for three days.

In addition, spraying a single culture solution on peppers that have already developed anthrax suppressed the spread to other peppers by 95%.

This time, it was confirmed last year that actinomycetes used to control pepper anthrax have a pesticide-level control effect on cabbage mycobacterial disease, strawberry gray mold disease, and tomato seed disease.

The National Institute of Biological Resources plans to transfer the technology identified this time if there is a company that wants it.
