Japan's Central Agricultural Research Center and Kyoto government jointly developed the capsicum mosaic vaccine, which is based on plant virus and is expected to replace methyl bromide pesticide The vaccine is based on the paprika mosaic virus, which is made by applying specific temperature and humidity conditions to the virus, the Japan agricultural news reported Monday This kind of vaccine can effectively inhibit the disease of pepper mosaic without soil disinfection In order to facilitate the spread of vaccines, researchers are studying a simple way to vaccinate capsicum by spraying it in aqueous solution If 70% of the cultivated capsicum uses the vaccine, the benefit effect will be obvious In addition, the experiment proved that the use of the vaccine can also increase the vitamin C content of capsicum by 50% Jin Tian Xinzai, an expert in insect pest research at the Central Agricultural Research Institute, said that the reason for the increase in vitamin content is not clear at present, probably because the vaccine played a role in increasing the gene of vitamin C.
