Recent trend in controlling root rot disease of tomato caused by Fusarium Solani using aluminasilica nanoparticles

Abstract

This study was carried out to synthesis of mesoporous aluminasilica nanoparticles (MASN) and to evaluate its antifungal activity against root rot of tomato caused by Fusaruim solani under laboratory and greenhouse conditions compare to recommended fungicide (chinosol). The effect of MASN on some growth characters was also investiagted. The physical characteristics of MASN, such as porosity, surface area, and pore volume contributed to its high antifungal efficacy toward Fusaruim solani. Chinosol and aluminasilica were effective against Fusaruim solani under both laboratory and greenhouse conditions. MASN nanoparticles were potentially effective against root rot of tomato but further studies on its efficacy under filed conditions and improving its synthesis characters are needed.
