Overview

The study reveals that silver nanoparticles reduced disease severity in tomato plants infected with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, suggesting a promising control strategy.

Key Points

  • Application of silver nanoparticles significantly reduced white mould severity in tomato plants.
  • Higher concentrations of silver nanoparticles limited the growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in vitro.
  • Pretreated plants maintained higher levels of photosynthetic pigments, indicating preserved plant health.
  • Enhanced defence pathways were observed in infected plants, suggesting a potential for disease management.
