USE OF HOST DEFENSE INDUCERS FOR CONTROLLING BACTERIAL HARMFUL ORGANISMS IN USEFUL PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of host defense inducers forcontrolling selected bacterial harmful organismsin useful plants, wherein the bacterial harmful organisms are selected fromthe group consisting of Acidovorax avenae, Burkholderiaspec., Burkholderia glumae, Candidatus Liberibacter spec., Corynebacterium,Erwinia spec., Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonassyringae pv. actinidae, Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea, Pseudomonassyringae pv. tomato, Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans,Streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas spp., Xanthomonas axonopodis, Xanthomonasaxonopodis pv. citri, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.glycines, Xanthomonas campestris, Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum,Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni,Xanthomonas fragariae and Xanthomonas transluscens. In a preferred aspect ofthe invention the host defense inducer is isotianil.The present invention also relates to a method for controlling the selectedbacterial harmful organisms in useful plants by treatmentwith a host defense inducer.
