PG - 128 LID - 10.1007/s13205-022-03189-0 [doi] LID - 128 AB - Excessive use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers poses a serious threat to ecoenvironment sustainability and human health. Nano pesticides or Nano fungicides have attained great attention in the field of agriculture due to their unique characteristics, by improving crop growth with enhancing pathogenesis-related defense system. However, there is a need to develop a sustainable mechanism for the synthesis of fungicides which replace the chemical pesticides to avoid their hazardous impact. Here in, Tamarix aphylla mediated CuO-Nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized, characterized and their activity was evaluated under in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. The structural and elemental analysis of NPs were carried out by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectrophotometer, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). In the greenhouse, at an optimum concentration of 50 mg/L reduced disease severity very effectively and enhanced plant growth. Application of NPs also assisted in the induction of systemic response of defense-related genes in melon. Under In vitro condition at 100 mg/L significantly reduced mycelial growth (84.5%) by directly acting on the pathogenic cell wall. Our work confirmed that dosedependent concentration of T. aphylla extract based biological CuO-NPs enhance plant growth and help to effectively resist against F. oxysporum infection.
