Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for damaging a plant body to cause the drug to be taken into the plant body. In particular, the present invention relates to a plant treatment apparatus for incorporating various agents such as agricultural chemicals and plant viruses (vaccines) used for the control of plant diseases caused by plant pathogens, and a method using the same.

  In general, when a plant body suffers from a plant disease (especially plant virus disease such as tobacco mosaic disease, tomato mosaic disease, curie mosaic disease, etc.), the damage is enormous. As one method for controlling such plant diseases, a method is known in which a plant is pre-inoculated with an attenuated virus to impart virus resistance to the plant. This method of controlling with attenuated viruses is very effective because it has a high control effect, is economical, and does not cause environmental pollution.

  However, in this method, when a plant virus is inoculated into a plant body, it is not infected by simply applying a suspension of the plant virus to the surface of the plant body or by applying it to the plant body. Infection occurs only when a virus is invaded into the plant body by applying a treatment such as moderate damage. In general, since the boundary between the plant body and the outside world is separated by a relatively strong surface, a means for promoting the incorporation of a drug into the plant body is required to incorporate the drug into the plant body.

  Therefore, as a method for inoculating and infecting a plant virus with a plant, first, for example, the plant virus suspension is rubbed with a cotton swab, a glass rod or the like, or the plant is abraded or rubbed. And a method of inoculating a plant virus suspension in the part after artificially scratching. However, these methods are labor intensive and time consuming.

  In place of such a method, several techniques have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a method in which a plant virus suspension in which an abrasive is suspended is sprayed at a constant pressure with a spray gun to injure a test plant and simultaneously inoculate a plant virus. Has been. However, this method is efficient but has the disadvantage that it is not economical because it requires large amounts of expensive plant viruses. Patent Document 2 describes a method in which a plant virus and an abrasive are interposed on the surface of a plant body, a roller is pressed and rotated, the plant body is damaged, and the plant virus is inoculated. . However, this method has a problem that the plant body falls down and is damaged by the pressure contact of the roller, the stem is broken, or there is a plant body that is not damaged.
