Kiwi bacterial canker: threats, research progress, and prospects for green control
摘要
Kiwi bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), poses a severe threat to global kiwi production, significantly reducing yield and fruit quality, leading to substantial economic losses. This paper reviews recent advancements in understanding the pathogenesis and control strategies of kiwi bacterial canker, highlighting agricultural, chemical, and biological methods, and discussing their potential, limitations, and practical challenges. Emerging innovative technologies, including nanomaterials, bacteriophages, and microbiome manipulations, are also briefly introduced as promising future approaches. Research trends indicate a shift toward biological and integrated disease management strategies. The paper provides insights aiming at sustainable development and effective management of kiwi bacterial canker.
