AGENT FOR ELEVATING PLANT DISEASE-RESISTANE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide an agent for elevating resistance against plant diseases whereby the resistance against plant diseases and pest insects are elevated by using a yeast-origin component, the safety of which has been established as a food, so that it is expected to strength a plant, enable the raising of good seedlings and, in its turn, enable the production of a crop with favorable qualities at a high yield. Namely, an agent for elevating plant disease-resistance which contains a yeast cell wall digestion product is provided. Also, a controlling material for a specific use which contains a yeast cell wall digestion product and is usable for imparting plant disease-resistance is provided. Moreover, use of a yeast cell wall digestion product for elevating plant disease-resistance is provided. Further, a method of elevating the effect of elevating plant disease-resistance of a plant activator by adding a yeast cell wall digestion product to the plant activator is provided. Furthermore, a cultivation method which comprises supplying the above-described agent for elevating plant disease-resistance to young seedlings and/or seedlings after setting is provided.
