Overview
Bacteriophage against Acidovorax citrulli (Bacterial Fruit Blotch of Cucurbits) is a premium-quality product supplied by ZEAL BIOTECH under strict quality management with full batch traceability. Targeted biological control of Acidovorax citrulli (syn. Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes subsp. citrulli), the seed-borne Gram-negative bacterium causing bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of watermelon, melon, cucumber and other cucurbits. Applied as seed soak/coating (the pathogen is seed-transmitted, so nursery/seedling control is decisive), seedling-root drench and foliar spray under humid/warm conditions; the phage lyses the pathogen by receptor-specific infection, self-amplifies on the host and leaves no chemical residue, fitting integrated and organic cucurbit production.
