Bacterial phytopathogens decrease crop yields, which translates to lost revenue for growers. The market for products that control bacterial infections on food crops is large, with annual expenditures of $300-500M worldwide. The incumbent solution is a mixture of copper-based pesticides and dithiocarbamates like mancozeb. Unfortunately, these mixtures are inadequate because they have falling efficacy due to resistance built up by bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, they can reduce crop yields by stressing plants, causing them to produce less from the outset. Finally, they cause significant environmental harm to soil and water.

细菌性植物病原体降低作物产量，这意味着种植者的收入损失。控制粮食作物细菌感染的产品市场很大，全世界每年的支出为3亿至5亿美元。现有的解决方案是铜基农药和二硫代氨基甲酸酯如代森锰锌的混合物。不幸的是，这些混合物是不够的，因为它们由于细菌病原体建立的抗性而具有下降的功效。此外，它们会通过胁迫植物来减少作物产量，使它们从一开始就减产。最后，它们对土壤和水造成严重的环境危害。
