Control of early blight caused by Alternaria solani using metal oxide nanostructures as direct antifungal agents and resistance inducers in potato plants.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of metal oxide nanostructures as antifungal agents against Alternaria solani in potato plants.
• Evaluation of metal oxide nanostructures as antifungal treatments
• Assessment of induced plant resistance against Alternaria solani
• Analysis of potential impacts on humans and the environment
• Metal oxide nanostructures showed promising antifungal activity against Alternaria solani.
• Induced resistance in potato plants was observed with nanostructure application.
• Further research is necessary to evaluate environmental and human health impacts.
