Bacterial Wilt Control - Targeting Soil-Borne Vascular Diseases in Solanaceae Crops

Bacterial wilt is one of the most destructive soil-borne diseases affecting Solanaceae crops, including tomato and pepper.
Caused primarily by Ralstonia solanacearum, the disease invades the vascular system, leading to rapid wilting, systemic collapse, and severe yield loss.
Once established in soil, bacterial wilt is extremely difficult to control using conventional chemical measures.

Core Technology & Patent Status
NEWKIS® has formally filed a proprietary patent application for a non-chemical control strategy targeting bacterial wilt and related soil-borne diseases.
The core technical framework integrates:
• Plant-derived (herbal) extracts with targeted antibacterial activity
• Beneficial microbial systems designed to regulate soil and rhizosphere ecology
These components act synergistically to suppress pathogenic bacterial activity, reduce vascular blockage, and support plant recovery at the root–soil interface.
The system is further enhanced through ELPC (Ecological Living Particle Carrier), which improves biological interaction efficiency, stability in soil environments, and sustained disease suppression under field conditions.

Field Observations in Tomato and Pepper
Comparative field observations in tomato and pepper crops have shown:
• Clear differentiation between treated and untreated plants
• Reduced wilting symptoms and delayed disease progression
• Improved plant vigor and survival under bacterial wilt pressure
Rather than relying on short-term chemical suppression, this approach supports ecological regulation of soil microbiota, contributing to longer-term disease resilience.

Current Development Status
• Bacterial wilt control patent application filed
• Field validation in Solanaceae crops ongoing
• Continuous optimization based on multi-site observations

Additional crop trials are currently underway and will be disclosed upon completion of formal validation.
