Enhanced suppression of soil-borne phytopathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum in soil and promotion of tomato plant growth by synergetic effect of green synthesized nanoparticles and plant extract.

The results of this study suggest the potential application of leaf extract and ZnO nanoparticles for controlling R. solanacearum as safe, eco-friendly and less expensive integrated disease management strategy in tomato crop.
