Nanomaterials for Plant Disease Diagnosis and Treatment: A Review

mycolabadmin

Scientists are developing tiny particles called nanomaterials to fight plant diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and worms. These nanoparticles can detect infections quickly and treat diseases more effectively than traditional pesticides, while reducing harmful environmental impacts. The technology shows promise for safer, more sustainable farming that could help feed a growing global population.

Actinomycetes isolated from rhizosphere of wild Coffea arabica L. showed strong biocontrol activities against coffee wilt disease

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that certain bacteria called actinomycetes, particularly a strain called MUA26, can effectively fight coffee wilt disease, a serious fungal infection that damages coffee plants. These beneficial bacteria produce natural compounds that kill the disease-causing fungus and were tested on coffee seedlings in a greenhouse, showing 83% effectiveness at preventing the disease. This discovery offers coffee farmers an organic alternative to chemical pesticides, which are expensive and harmful to the environment.

Inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum growth in banana by silver nanoparticles: In vitro and in vivo assays

Bananas are threatened by a fungal disease called Fusarium wilt that damages crops worldwide. Scientists tested tiny silver particles called nanoparticles as a treatment for this disease on banana plants. The treatment successfully reduced disease by about 68% when applied to the roots, showing promise as an alternative to traditional fungicides for protecting banana crops.

Researchers tested silver nanoparticles as a potential cure for Fusarium wilt, a serious fungal disease that damages banana crops worldwide. Using laboratory tests and greenhouse experiments with banana plants, they found that silver nanoparticles effectively killed the fungus and reduced disease symptoms by about 68% when applied to plant roots. The study shows that this nanotechnology approach could offer a new way to protect banana plantations from this devastating disease.

Biocontrol of Fusarium solani: Antifungal Activity of Chitosan and Induction of Defence Enzymes

mycolabadmin

Chitosan, a natural substance made from shrimp and crab shells, effectively protects tomato plants from a dangerous fungal disease called Fusarium solani root rot. When applied to plants, chitosan directly damages the fungus and simultaneously strengthens the plant’s own defence systems through increased enzyme activity. This makes chitosan a safer, more sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fungicides while also promoting better plant growth.

Novel secondary metabolite from a new species of Hypoxylon saxatilis sp. nov. for suppressing bacterial wilt in tomato

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a new type of fungus called Hypoxylon saxatilis that produces a natural compound called tetrahydrofuran. This compound effectively kills the bacteria that cause tomato plants to wilt and die. When used on tomato plants in the greenhouse, this fungal extract reduced disease severity by over 83%, offering a safer, environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides for protecting crops.

Bio-stimulants for plant growth promotion and sustainable management of Rhizoctonia Solani causing black scurf of potato tubers

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested natural treatments called bio-stimulants to help potato plants fight black scurf disease caused by a fungus called Rhizoctonia solani. They found that combining mycorrhizal fungi with seaweed extract was the most effective at reducing disease and improving potato quality. These natural treatments can enhance plant growth and tuber yield while reducing the need for chemical fungicides, making them valuable for sustainable potato farming.
