Phytofabricated silver nanoparticles unlock new potential in tomato plants by combating wilt infection and enhancing plant growth.

ABSTRACT: The environment faces serious threats from climate change, food security challenges, and a growing population. The UN Global Goals emphasize the urgent need for sustainable agriculture to secure food production. We must adopt innovative solutions to bolster agroecological resilience and increase food output with minimal environmental impact. Here, we investigate the antimycotic properties of silver nanoparticles (PP-AgNPs) at various concentrations in controlling Fusarium wilt for tomato crop improvement under laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions. Various instruments were utilized to characterize the green-synthesized PP-AgNPs. The results indicated a broad UV peak at 428 nm and a spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 1 to 3.5 nm, as confirmed by SEM and TEM. Analyses indica
