Control of Fusarium wilt of tomato in the greenhouse using silver nanofungicides
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is considered as one of the most economically important vegetable crops in the world. Its production is about 130 million tons, of which 88 million are specified for the fresh markets whereas, 42 million are processed (Anonymous, 2016). Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. l...

| description | Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is considered as
one of the most economically important vegetable
crops in the world. Its production is about 130 million
tons, of which 88 million are specified for the fresh
markets whereas, 42 million are processed
(Anonymous, 2016). Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
lycopersici causes a highly destructive vascular wilt
disease of tomato leading to significant crop losses in
the field and in protected tomatoes, thus remains as
one of the main limiting factors for production of this
crop (McGovern, 2015).
Control of infectious plant diseases is the
most important concern of crop production.
However, resistance of phytopathogenic fungi to
synthetic fungicides must be considered. According
to Bouwmeester et al., (2009), the use of new
mechanisms for plant disease control is basically
required, however, recent development of
nanopesticides can help to control many plant
diseases. Sekhon, (2014); Ahmed and Lee, (2015)
later added that the use of nanoparticles (NP) is
considered as a promising alternative way to control
phytopathogens. |
