Enhanced Antifungal Efficacy of Validamycin A Co-Administered with Bacillus velezensis TCS001 against Camellia anthracnose

Anthracnose, a fungal disease harming fruit trees and crops, poses a threat to agriculture. Traditional chemical pesticides face issues like environmental pollution and resistance. A strategy combining low-toxicity chemicals with biopesticides is proposed to enhance disease control while reducing chemical use. Our study found that mixing validamycin A (VMA) and
