Bactericidal Activity of Copper-Zinc Hybrid Nanoparticles on Copper-Tolerant Xanthomonas perforans.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial spot of tomato, caused by Xanthomonas perforans, X. euvesicatoria, X. vesicatoria and X. gardneri, is a major disease, contributing to significant yield losses worldwide. Over dependence of conventional copper bactericides over the last decades has led to the prevalence of copper-tolerant strains of Xanthomonas spp., making copper bactericides ineffective. Thus, there is a critical need to develop new...
