Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae reported from our country by us. But, it is publication stage on Plant disease. When it posted, i will give information about publication. Antibiotics use to control of Xap generally. But these antibiotics are fiorbidden in Turkey. I need new biocontrol agents. I want to more information about R-gene . I will write to you about this topic.
We make hydrogen peroxide (food grade) and peroxyacid based broad spectrum bactericide-fungicide-viricides. At very low concentrations, these combinations can be sprayed on the plants (leaves/fruits/stem). It can also be used for pretreatment of the the seeds.
Serap, we have good results with new agent - Zerebra Agro (silver+polimer). It is registered in Russia as plant growth regulator, but has high efficency against all bacteria except Pseudomonads.
This is a very good result. For plant growth regulators such an effect... interesting...We want to try it but I need more information about application conditions..Actually, Most important thing; Do Turkey has this plant grow regulator?
Do you have a your article about the new agent or can you write me?
We are working on biocontrol bacterial blight last three years. We have realized that only way to control blight is by perfect orchard management. never use antibiotics to control the blight as it reduces the immunity of the plant. Do not allow dry leaves to accumulate on the ground. observe the plant thoroughly and remove all old infection marks and apply Bordeaux mixture. You can also apply Trichoderma and pseudomonas mixture that is available in your country as biopesticide. For us both gave very good result. There are reports of effectiveness of copper nanoparticles and similarly we got better result with CuSO4 also. However, I recommend perfect orchard practice.
You are right. Biopesticides (such as Trichoderma and Pseudomonas mixture) is legal and available in my country. Thanks a lot. I'll try it.
Xap was found my country and first reported by us at a garden. (at publication stage). Generally; In my country, copper preparations and bordeaux mixture are used for bacterial diseases. For bacterial blight, no licenced drugs and control method. This preparations, only when supported fungal preparations, we have realized that it is less effective.
