AI Technical Summary
Existing plant disease control agents are inadequate for effectively managing diseases caused by filamentous fungi, particularly sweet potato basal rot, and often have negative environmental impacts or resistance issues, while also failing to consider environmental conservation.
A plant disease control agent containing smectite as the active ingredient, which is applied to plants or soil to adsorb and immobilize filamentous fungi, thereby controlling diseases and promoting plant growth.
The smectite-based agent effectively reduces viable filamentous fungi, controls plant diseases, and promotes plant growth with minimal environmental impact and low cost, while avoiding resistance development.
