{
  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-022668",
  "term": "Pseudomonas fluorescens A506",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Some bacteria normally found on plant surfaces initiate formation of frost, which damages crops. However, if these harmful bacteria are displaced by other bacteria that do not cause frost to form, plants can withstand temperatures several degrees lower without harm. To prevent frost damage, pesticide products containing one or more of the bacteria above are applied to newly emerging leaves and flowers to crowd out the frost-forming bacteria that would otherwise flourish",
