Successful study of biological fungicides against anthracnose

Scientists at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have successfully researched and patented a bio-fungicide that can prevent anthracnose that is harmful to plants.

According to a reporter in Mexico, expert Leobardo Serano Carreón of the research group, said Fungifree AB® fungicides were made from a bacterium that separated from mango foliage, completely without toxicity and possibly Used to replace synthetic chemicals commonly used in agriculture.

Fungifree AB® can be used for 20 kinds of fruit trees.

Fungifree AB® is capable of controlling pests and diseases as well as helping plants to protect and develop themselves.

This drug has been tested many times in many different ways on many fruit trees and the results are very effective.

Fungifree AB® can be used for 20 fruit trees such as mango, avocado, papaya, orange, lemon, grapefruit and tangerine .

This drug is also being used to prevent fungal diseases in coffee.

In addition to this project, UNAM scientists are also conducting research on image analysis techniques to assess the harmful effects of anthracnose on mango trees, making it easier to identify the area of ​​fruit trees affected by this disease.

Anthracnose is the most dangerous disease on mango trees that seriously affects plant growth and fruit yield.

Disease caused by fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides , fungal pathogens on both leaves, branches, young shoots and young fruits.
