Introduction: Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by pv () is one of the most devastative diseases that threatens rice plants worldwide. Biosynthesized nanoparticle (NP) composite compounds have attracted attention as environmentally safe materials that possess antibacterial activity that could be used in managing plant diseases.
Methods: During this study, a nanocomposite of two important elements, nickel and silicon, was biosynthesized using extraction of saffron stigmas ( L.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNs) are known as a promising alternative tool to control fungal diseases. AgNs were biologically synthesized using as an ecofriendly approach. The presence of AgNs was confirmed by changing the color to brown, followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Energy-dispersive spectra (EDS).

- Nanotechnology, specifically MgO nanoparticles (MgONPs), is being explored for its potential to combat soil-borne fungi that reduce mung bean yields.
- In vitro studies show that MgONPs effectively inhibit fungal growth, and applying them to mung bean plants significantly improves growth metrics compared to a control group.
- The research indicates that using MgONPs can reduce the severity of fungal diseases like Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum, while also considering the impact on soil health, especially at higher nanoparticle concentrations.
The phytopathogenic basidiomycetous fungus, , has a wide range of host plants including members of the family Poaceae, causing damping-off and root rot diseases. In this study, we biosynthesized spherical-shaped silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO NPs; sized between 9.92 and 19.
