Chassieu, France & Basel, Switzerland, Nov. 18 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amoebas. These single-celled microorganisms are now at the heart of one of agriculture’s latest biological innovation – a bio-fungicide capable of protecting wheat and other cereal crops from crippling fungal diseases that cost global agriculture billions of dollars in annual crop losses and quality.
This new development, made from the lysate of the amoeba Willaertia magna C2c Maky, holds strong potential to advance biological crop protection. In trials, the candidate demonstrated its effectiveness in combating the fungi responsible for these fungal diseases and helped activate the plants’ defence responses. As a next‑generation biological, it is built on a biological active substance and designed to fit modern integrated crop management.
