Abstract
The prevention of Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) contact transmission in green pepper was examined using scissors with automatic disinfectant sprayer that automatically washes blades according to the movement of the blades. When blades infested with PMMoV were washed using mycelia extract of shiitake mushrooms and skim milk solution as a cleaning solution, infection of PMMoV to healthy plants was suppressed. Therefore, these scissors with automatic sprayer are effective to prevent transmission of PMMoV under work with green pepper.
