          Ningnanmycin is a new type of broad-spectrum biological pesticide with fungicidal, antiviral, growth-regulating and growth-promoting effects. It is a new cytosine nucleoside peptide antibiotic with independent intellectual property rights, discovered and successfully developed by the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It has a specific effect on viral diseases of many crops and was a key national science and technology project during the "7th Five-Year", "8th Five-Year" and "9th Five-Year" Plan periods. The project achieved complete and systematic research results, from the isolation and identification of the producing strain, the extraction, separation, purification and structural identification of the antibiotic, to pilot-scale fermentation, trial production, industrial-scale mass production, as well as toxicity testing and residue analysis of the antibiotic, greenhouse inoculation, efficacy trials, field trials, and demonstration, promotion and application.

          Ningnanmycin can effectively control viral diseases of many crops such as tobacco, tomato, pepper, cucurbits, rice, wheat, vegetables, fruit trees and legumes, and can also control fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, root rot, stem rot, damping-off, Phytophthora blight, gummy stem blight, anthracnose and rice sclerotium disease, as well as bacterial diseases such as rice bacterial leaf blight, Chinese cabbage soft rot and bacterial wilt of solanaceous crops. It can also control diseases such as banana bunchy top disease, mosaic heart rot, pepper mosaic disease, papaya ringspot disease, and ginseng damping-off and stem rot.

          Characteristics of Ningnanmycin:
          1. Ningnanmycin is an agricultural antibiotic with good control efficacy against viral diseases of many plants. Unlike other antiviral biological agents, Ningnanmycin not only has a preventive effect but also has a significant therapeutic effect on plant viral diseases.
          2. Ningnanmycin is a biological pesticide with low toxicity, low residue, and no "three-carcinogenic" (carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic) or cumulative effects.
          3. Ningnanmycin can prolong the incubation period of the virus, destroy the structure of virus particles, reduce the concentration of virus particles, and improve the plant's ability to resist the virus, thereby achieving the control of viral diseases.
          4. Ningnanmycin can inhibit the growth of fungal hyphae and can induce plants to produce resistance proteins, improving the plant's immunity.

         How to use Ningnanmycin:
          Ningnanmycin is mainly used as a spray, and can also be used for seed dressing. For spraying, start applying before the onset of disease or at the early stage of disease, with a spray volume of 50 kg per mu. The spray should be uniform and thorough, and it can be used 2-3 times according to the interval period.
          1. To control rice stripe leaf blight, use 200-330 g of 2% aqueous solution per mu.
          2. To control tobacco viral disease, use 42-62.5 g of 8% aqueous solution per mu.
          3. To control tomato viral disease, use 75-100 g of 8% aqueous solution per mu.
          4. To control pepper viral disease, use 75-104 g of 8% aqueous solution per mu.
          5. To control rice black-streaked dwarf disease, use 45-60 g of 8% aqueous solution per mu.
          6. To control cucumber powdery mildew, use 50-75 g of 10% soluble powder per mu.
          7. To control apple alternaria leaf spot, spray with a 2000-3000 times dilution of 8% aqueous solution.
          8. To control soybean root rot, use 60-80 g of 2% aqueous solution per mu for seed dressing.

         Precautions for Ningnanmycin:
          1. The safe interval period for use on tobacco is 10 days, with a maximum of 3 applications per season; the safe interval period for use on apple is 14 days, with a maximum of 3 applications per season. The safe interval period for use on tomato and pepper is 7 days, with a maximum of 3 applications per season. 
          2. Do not mix with alkaline pesticides or other alkaline substances. The spray solution and its waste liquid must not pollute various water bodies, soil and other environments. 
          3. When using, wear protective clothing, gloves, masks, etc., and avoid inhaling the spray solution; do not eat or drink during application; wash hands and face promptly after application. 
          4. Do not clean application equipment in rivers, ponds or other water bodies.  
          5. Used containers should be properly disposed of and must not be reused for other purposes or discarded at will.  
          6. Pregnant women and nursing mothers must not come into contact with it.
