AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current methods for controlling plant pathogens are often ineffective or have undesirable side effects, such as toxicity to consumers, and may not provide sufficient pathogen or plant specificity and efficacy.
Method used
A biocontrol composition and method involving a formulation containing Bacillus amyloliquefaciens with a nucleic acid sequence at least 99.8% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, applied to plants, seeds, or soil to reduce or kill pathogenic organisms like fungi, bacteria, and nematodes.
Benefits of technology
The method effectively reduces the growth or kills pathogenic organisms responsible for diseases such as Asian soybean rust, rice blast, and root knots, providing improved efficacy compared to commercial biocontrol compositions.
