Silver-selenium nanoparticles and selected chemical compounds significantly inhibit grapevine trunk disease pathogens.

ABSTRACT:

Backround

Grapevine is among the most economically important cultivated crops worldwide, yet it is increasingly threatened by the grapevine trunk disease (GTD) complex. Due to the lack of effective curative treatments for GTDs and the growing need to reduce chemical pesticide use, alternative strategies, such as the application of nanoparticles, are being investigated. In a 2-year in planta study, the inhibitory effects of four chemical compounds and one nanoparticle formulation were evaluated against three serious pathogens associated with GTD complex: Diaporthe eres Nitschke, Diplodia seriata De Not., and Eutypa lata (Pers.) Tul. & C. Tul. Selection of the chemical compounds and nanoparticles was based on their inhibitory effects observed under in vitro conditions, as previously
