The growth of fresh fruits and vegetables are crucial to applying a good control agent to manage the pest during production. The Solanaceae is essential crops for ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat food. Bacterial wilt disease, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs), is one of the most devastating diseases on the Solanaceae. On the other hand, Cucumber Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc), is one of the most devastating disease on cucumber. Until now, there are no effective chemicals for the above two disease control.
In Taiwan, Kaohsiung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station has developed a biopesticide with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PMB01 to effectively control Rs and Foc diseases. The whole genome shotgun sequencing revealed that PMB01 harbors genes involved in the biosynthesis of cyclic lipopeptides, bacillibactin and bacilysin, which might collectively contribute to its biocontrol activity. Toxicity test demonstrated that PMB01 was not toxic to mammals.
The technology and the large-scale fermentation system for B. amyloliquefaciens PMB01 strain have been transferred to a local company, Jianon Enterprise Co., Ltd. in 2014 hence has registered as a bio-fungicide in 2015. Saviour® (AL 1x109 CFU/mL) and Busters® (WP 1x109 CFU/g) are registered bio-fungicides products.
Jianon Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Jianon Enterprise Co., Ltd. is a pioneer, who introduce the first bio-insecticide, Bacillus thurgensis, to Taiwan. And currently, Jianon has hold the only product of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in the bio-insecticides industry in Taiwan. In the past few years, Jianon Enterprise Co., Ltd. has successfully transformed from an importer to a producer with their own bio-fungicide agents. Jianon Enterprise Co., Ltd. has entered the Vietnamese market in Southeast Asia for nearly a decade, and has cooperated with Indonesia, Malaysia, India and other markets for analysis and evaluation. In addition, B. amyloliquefaciens PMB01 is testing on several diseases of coffee and pepper in different countries in ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations).
