Biocontrol ability of Bacillus velezensis T9 against Apiospora arundinis causing Apiospora mold on sugarcane
Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) may be infected with Apiospora, which can produce the toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) during improper transportation and storage.The consumption of sugarcane that contains 3-NPA can lead to food poisoning.Therefore, this study sought to explore a novel biocontrol agent to prevent and control Apiospora mold.B
