What is Green-fabricated silver nanoparticles from Quercus incana leaf extract to control the early blight of tomatoes caused by Alternaria solani about?
## Abstract ## Background Early blight (EB) of Tomatoes, caused by __Alternaria solani__, is a serious fungal disease that adversely affects tomato production. Infection is characterized by dark lesions on leaves, stems, and fruits. Several agrochemicals can be used to control infection, these chemicals may disrupt environmental equilibrium. An alternative technology is needed to address this significant fungal threat. This study was designed to control the growth of EB in tomatoes caused by __A. solani__, using green-fabricated silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). ## Results Ag-NPs were synthesized through an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach using leaf extract of __Quercus incana__ Roxb. (__Fagaceae__). The physico-chemical characterization of the Ag-NPs was conducted through UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The Ag-NPs produced were round with a mean diameter of 27 nm. The antifungal activity of these Ag-NPs was assessed through in vitro Petri plate and in vitro leaflet assays against __A. solani__. The green fabricated Ag-NPs exhibited excellent antifungal activity in vitr
