Potential of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) to Promote Growth and Control Plant Pathogenic Bacteria of Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)
Nanotechnology has recently emerged as a rapidly growing area in science, medicine, disinfection, and agriculture. Bacteria pathogens affect lotus agriculture both in crop yield and economic loss. This study aimed to identify pathogen that caused brown leaf spot disease on the lotus and evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy in vitro of silver nanoparticles. Molecular based identification using 16S ribosomal DNA sequences revealed that…

Microbiology associated with disease on white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) and application of silver nanoparticles for the control of plant pathogens in vitro
Many bacterial and fungal pathogens are known to affect lotus, which limits both flower quality and yield production. Treatments such as pesticides can reduce pathogens but can result in resistance. This study was conducted to identify the most common fungal, and bacterial pathogens associated with leaf spot diseases of white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). Molecular–based identification using ITS and 16 s…
