Panicles and leaf blasts, caused by the fungus Pyricularia sp., are critical challenges in rice cultivation, capable of significantly reducing yields and causing crop failure.
PRIMA Agro Tech addresses these issues innovatively, employing multi-microbial strains. Together, Bacillus siamensis, Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces thermovulgaris, and Geobacillus thermocatenulatus create a synergistic effect, promoting a healthier rhizosphere and overall plant vitality.
This integrated approach is part of PRIMA Agro Tech’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, offering environmentally friendly solutions and reducing dependence on synthetic inputs.
Panicles and leaf blasts are significant agricultural challenges caused by the fungus Pyricularia sp. This disease can severely impact production yields and even lead to crop failure, disrupting the grain-filling process. The disease is commonly observed during the rice planting season, especially in rainy conditions and when plant spacing is too tight.
Pyricularia sp., a fungal pathogen, specifically targets rice plants and is particularly active and destructive during the wet planting season, conditions that are conducive to its growth and spread.
Pyricularia sp. uniquely infects and proliferates rapidly under high moisture conditions, common in rice paddies during rainy periods. The fungus exploits the humid microclimate and natural openings or wounds on rice plants to establish infection. Once established, it can spread quickly, leading to widespread outbreaks that are challenging to control.
The life cycle and survival strategy of Pyricularia sp. are closely aligned with the environmental conditions and agronomic practices common in rice cultivation. For instance, the dense planting often found in rice fields can facilitate the spread of the fungus due to the proximity of plants, creating an ideal environment for the disease to thrive and propagate.
Understanding the biology and behaviour of Pyricularia sp. is crucial for developing effective management strategies. Its preference for wet, humid conditions and its rapid infection cycle make it a formidable pathogen in rice agriculture. As such, the control and management of panicles and leaf blast disease require a comprehensive approach, considering the environmental conditions, cultivation practices, and the use of targeted microbial solutions to mitigate the impact of this pathogen on rice crops.
Panicles and leaf blasts manifest in two primary ways:
PRIMA Agro Tech employs multi-microbial strains in addressing panicles and leaf blast disease, each with a distinct role in disease mitigation. By combining these strains in a comprehensive disease management strategy, along with essential nutrients, PRIMA Agro Tech provides a robust solution against panicles and leaf blasts, addressing immediate threats and enhancing long-term crop resilience and productivity.
Bacillus siamensis strain KCTC 13613: Crucial in suppressing Pyricularia sp., KCTC 13613 secretes natural antibiotics and bioactive substances that inhibit the fungus’s growth, effectively reducing its spread and severity. Its mechanism includes occupying ecological niches to prevent pathogen colonisation.
Bacillus subtilis strain PAH17: Renowned for its biocontrol attributes, this strain increases the plant’s innate immunity. It produces a spectrum of enzymes and metabolites that directly combat Pyricularia sp. while enhancing the rice plant’s systemic resistance against the fungus.
Streptomyces thermovulgaris strain 09924-c8Ka-50-3 and Geobacillus thermocatenulatus strain KNOUC105: Incorporated for their unique antifungal properties, these strains further fortify the fight against Pyricularia sp., enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
Sulfuric Compounds and Amino Acids: These acids reinforce plant health, aiding in recovery and increasing resilience against the disease.
