Description
Min-Kyu Park and seven co-authors field test a living film against peach tree canker in a 2026 paper. Peach gummosis, driven by a Botryosphaeria fungus, scars orchards and has few green fixes. Their film wraps a friendly bacterium in a soft glutamic acid skin that sticks to bark and sheds spores over time, a carrier meant to work with any agent.
One hundred forty three trees in eighteen Korean orchards got the film in spring. Mean severity fell from above four in April to near two by August, with three of four trees gaining at least a point. By October the mean neared one point eight in the zones still tracked. Photo based lesion reads agreed in broad strokes. Bark fungus profiles are charted as a side read.
