What diseases is zhongshengmycin mainly used to control?
In crop cultivation, the use of pesticides is unavoidable. Today's pesticides are also numerous in variety, and the diseases they can treat are too many to count. So what kind of pesticide is zhongshengmycin? And what diseases can it control?
1. What is zhongshengmycin
Zhongshengmycin is a new type of agricultural antibiotic successfully developed by the Institute of Biological Control of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The pure product is a white powder, and the technical material is a light yellow powder, easily soluble in water. When using this pesticide, it is generally applied to crops by spraying. Its mode of action is to inhibit the protein synthesis of bacterial cells, causing the cells to die; against fungi, it deforms filamentous hyphae, inhibits spore germination, and can directly kill spores.
Zhongshengmycin belongs to the N-glycoside class of antibiotics. It has a broad antimicrobial spectrum, and in particular shows obvious antimicrobial activity against crop pathogens such as cabbage soft rot bacteria, cucumber angular leaf spot bacteria, rice bacterial leaf blight bacteria, apple ring rot fungus, and wheat scab fungus. At the same time, zhongshengmycin also has a certain yield-increasing effect.
2. Key points for use
Zhongshengmycin is a low-toxicity fungicide, and its harm to the human body is not great, but attention should still be paid to protecting the eyes and skin. Even a low-toxicity agent may still cause harm to the skin and eyes. If zhongshengmycin accidentally gets into the eyes, immediately rinse with clean water for 15 minutes, and if discomfort persists, seek medical attention immediately; if it accidentally contacts the skin, immediately rinse with clean water and change clothing; if accidentally ingested and causing discomfort, immediately send the person to the hospital for symptomatic treatment, as this pesticide currently has no specific antidote.
When using zhongshengmycin, it should be used in the early stage of crop disease, when the effect is more noticeable. At the same time, note that it must not be mixed with alkaline pesticides. Otherwise, the efficacy will be weakened. When applying the pesticide, it should be done evenly and thoroughly, and if it rains after application, it should be re-sprayed promptly.
The above is some relevant knowledge about zhongshengmycin. Do friends now have some understanding of this pesticide? When using pesticides, be sure to pay more attention to your own protection. If pesticide poisoning occurs, the loss will outweigh the gain.
