– Control microorganisms to protect agricultural plants –
– Control microorganisms to protect agricultural plants –
Agricultural and forest lands are home to a wide variety of microorganisms that have a diverse impact on plants. Some are pathogens that often cause severe damage to agricultural and forestry production. On the other hand, some microorganisms live in symbiosis with plants and contribute to the health and vitality of their host plants. Therefore, it is essential to control these microorganisms in order to stabilize and improve agricultural and forestry production. Our goal is to clarify the characteristics of these harmful and useful microorganisms and their relationships with other organisms from a biological perspective, and to contribute to the protection of useful plants and the improvement of agricultural and forestry productivity.
