Kiwifruit bacterial disease (Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae)

Bacterial canker of actinidia was first discovered in Japan in the year 1989. This bacteriosis is the most dangerous and difficult to eradicate infectious disease in plants with the well-known ‘green fruit’ the Kiwi.

It has been stated that: ‘after contaminating the plant, the bacterium multiplies by binary scission, giving rise to millions of its fellows in a matter of hours. The germ once penetrated into the host is extremely difficult to fight, because it continues to mutate its genome depending on the environmental conditions it finds'.

BioAksxter® M31 Agriculture working on the plant's programmatic, without modifying its genetic structure, is particularly suitable for preventing and reducing disease development thanks to its specific action of reinforcing self-defences. It rebalances the plant by optimising vegetative development and encourages greater fructification, guaranteeing a high income for the farmer.
