KASUGAMYCIN NEW

Kasugamycin (Ksg) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that was originally isolated in 1965, from Streptomyces kasugaensis, a Streptomyces strain found near the Kasuga shrine in Nara, Japan. Kasugamycin was discovered by Hamao Umezawa, who also discovered kanamycin and bleomycin, as a drug which could prevent growth of a fungus causing rice blast disease. It was later found to inhibit bacterial growth also. It exists as a white, crystalline substance with the chemical formula C14H28ClN3O10 (kasugamycin hydrochloride). It is also known as kasumin.

Usage:

1. This product is a dual-use antibiotic for agriculture and medicine. Sprays with sprays of 40μg/ml(4g per mu) can significantly treat and protect seedling blast, leaf blast and ear neck blast, with a control effect of 70-85%, slightly better than or equivalent to 600 times of oryzae blast. The control effect was increased to 97%, and the generation of antibacterial strains was delayed. Low toxicity, internal fungicide. It is mainly used for the prevention and control of rice blast, applied at the heading and filling stage of rice, and exerts its efficacy through the therapeutic effect of internal absorption. Control rice blast with 2% wettable powder 500 ~ 700 times the initial application,7 ~ 10d spray once, leaf blast, ear neck blast twice.

2. It also has control effect on cucumber anthracnose, sorghum anthracnose and tomato leaf mold. Do not mix with alkaline pesticides when used.
