In 1954, Insein Township. Since the establishment of the Agricultural Research Institute in Gyogone, it has been established as a botanical center and moved to Yezin Central Agricultural Research Center in 1971. On January 27, 2004, the Department of Agricultural Research; Organized as a Plant Disease Unit. By crop Implant resistance by cultivating pathogenic pathogens (fungi, bacteria); Chemicals; Research is being done to prevent the spread of various diseases by beneficial microorganisms. Training staff and farmers on the results of the research; Distribution of educational pamphlets; We are working to spread the technology by broadcasting on Farmer TV.
Purpose
1. By crop To develop disease-resistant varieties.
2. Develop ways to prevent crop diseases and quality of crops from being affected by plant diseases.
3. Develop ways to prevent crop yields and quality diseases from being affected by plant pathogens by the power of beneficial microorganisms.
4. Disseminate technology.
Ongoing Research
1. Finding resistant varieties.
Crops such as bacterial leaf blight; Dried rice leaves; Dried corn leaves; Corn on the cob Black sesame seeds The buckwheat is dead. Green bean curd We are looking for varieties that are resistant to green peas, yellow mosaics and sugar cane.
2. Identification of variants of the disease.
The pathogenesis of bacterial leaf blight and leaf blight has been identified.
3. Finding out how to prevent the disease.
Bacterial leaf blight; Corn leaf blight Sesame disease Peanut Butter Green peas can be used to treat spores. Research is underway to find ways to prevent green peas and yellow fever.
