AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the prevention and control of tobacco wildfire disease mainly relies on foliar spraying, which makes it difficult to control the pathogens at the source, resulting in poor control effects.
A method of applying copper hydroxide suspension to the roots of tobacco seedlings by soaking them in water and then drenching them after transplanting creates a protective layer that prevents pathogens from invading the roots.
By improving the application methods, the incidence of tobacco wildfire disease has been significantly reduced, and the precision and effectiveness of prevention and control have been improved.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant disease control, and relates to a method for controlling tobacco wildfire disease, particularly a method for administering medication through the roots to control tobacco wildfire disease. Background Technology
[0002] The tobacco-pathogenic strain of *Pseudomonas tonsillar* ( Pseudomonas amygdali pv. tabaci [Synonyms: *Pseudomonas syringae* spp. (Tobacco-pathogenic strain)] P . syringae pv. tabaci Tobacco wildfire, caused by Wolf et Foster, is a common and serious bacterial disease in tobacco production worldwide. It is explosive and destructive, and can occur and cause damage throughout the entire growth period of tobacco, resulting in significant losses. Summary of the Invention
[0003] During their field investigations, the inventors discovered that the initial symptoms of tobacco wildfire disease appeared on the lower leaves. They also discovered for the first time that the pathogen could invade from the roots of the tobacco plant, be transported through the vascular bundles to the above-ground parts, and cause leaf disease (e.g., ...). Figure 1 , 2 However, current field control of tobacco wildfire disease primarily relies on foliar spraying, which is insufficient to control the pathogen at its source. Therefore, this invention changes the traditional application method, providing a root-applied treatment method for tobacco wildfire disease control, offering a theoretical basis and technical support for precise prevention and control of the disease.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A root application method for preventing tobacco wildfire disease includes the following two steps: 1) During the tobacco seedling stage, the roots are soaked in a copper hydroxide suspension; 2) On the 7th day after transplanting, apply copper hydroxide suspension for root irrigation.
[0005] Furthermore, the tobacco seedling stage mentioned in step 1) specifically refers to the hardening-off period two days before transplanting.
[0006] Furthermore, the copper hydroxide suspension used in step 1) is specifically a 500-fold dilution of 46wt% copper hydroxide water-dispersible granules.
[0007] Furthermore, the root soaking described in step 1) specifically involves uniformly applying a copper hydroxide suspension to the tobacco seedling trays until water seeps out from the bottom of the trays.
[0008] Furthermore, the copper hydroxide suspension used in step 2) is specifically a 1200-fold dilution of 46wt% copper hydroxide water-dispersible granules.
[0009] Further, the root irrigation in step 2) is specifically 150 mL of copper hydroxide suspension per plant.
[0010] Advantages of the present application: The inventor found in previous research that tobacco wild fire pathogen can invade from the root system of tobacco plants, conduct to the aboveground part of the plant through the vascular bundle and cause leaf disease. Based on this, the present application changes the traditional tobacco wild fire disease prevention and control method of leaf spraying to the root irrigation method, that is, root soaking with copper preparation before transplanting and root irrigation with copper preparation after transplanting, to form a protective layer on the root system and kill the pathogenic bacteria in the rhizosphere soil, thereby preventing the pathogenic bacteria from invading the root system and reducing the infection probability of the pathogenic bacteria from the source, improving the accuracy of the drug use and reducing the incidence of tobacco wild fire disease in the field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] A root administration method for preventing and treating tobacco wild fire disease, which specifically comprises the following steps: 1) Two days before the transplanting of tobacco, 500 times of 46% copper hydroxide water dispersible granule is uniformly applied to the tobacco seedling tray, until water seeps out from the bottom of the seedling tray. 2) Seven days after the transplanting, 1200 times of 46% copper hydroxide water dispersible granule is used for root irrigation treatment, and the root irrigation amount is 150 mL per plant.
