The Influence of Chitosan Derivatives in Combination with Bacteria on the Development of Systemic Resistance in Potato Plants with Viral Infection and Drought.

Viral diseases of potatoes are among the main problems causing deterioration in the quality of tubers and loss of yield. The growth and development of potato plants largely depend on soil moisture. Prevention strategies require comprehensive protection against pathogens and abiotic stresses, including modeling the beneficial microbiome of agroecosystems combining microorganisms and immunostimulants.

Stimulation of the Defense Mechanisms of Potatoes to a Late Blight Causative Agent When Treated with Bacteria and Chitosan Composites with Hydroxycinnamic Acids.

is, worldwide, one of the main causal agents of epiphytotics in potato plantings. Prevention strategies demand integrated pest management, including modeling of beneficial microbiomes of agroecosystems combining microorganisms and natural products. Chitooligosaccharides and their derivatives have great potential to be used by agrotechnology due to their ability to elicit plant immune reactions.
