A Japanese research team used the antibacterial action of a lactic acid bacteria to develop a "lactic acid bacteria pesticide" that prevents the two crop diseases.
According to a report by the Japanese media on February 20, this "lactic acid bacteria pesticide" developed by Kyoto Prefecture's Agricultural Resources Research Center uses Pediococcus acidi as a raw material to make it into a liquid drug, and soaks the spinach seeds in this liquid for 24 hours. . The seeds thus treated were sown in the soil containing the pathogen of spinach wilt, and as a result, infected spinach only accounted for about 12% of the spinach that grew out. After pepper seedlings were treated with Pediococcus acidiformis, the chance of bacterial root-caused rot was about 20% without treatment.
The report said that researchers are now testing the new plant pesticide's disease-preventing effect on other crops and whether it is completely harmless to the human body. If all goes well, this pesticide is expected to enter a practical stage around 2012.
The person in charge of this R&D project said that “Lactobacillus Pesticides†do not use chemical substances. Today, consumers’ awareness of food safety is gradually increasing, and this new type of pesticides will receive much attention. However, the production of this pesticide is time-consuming and it is estimated that the selling price will not be low in the future.
