Abstract

Nanoscience and technology is enabling development of a wide range of materials for enhanced plant growth. Nanomaterials such as titania and alumina penetrate into the plants, thereby improving or decreasing their growth characteristics. Silica (SiO2) is an essential element to monocot plants and it is known to confer biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, compositing forage beans with SiO2 nanoparticles was reported and the stability of the obtained compounds against fusariosis was also studied. maize treated with SiO2 nanoparticles (20–40 nm) was screened for resistance against phytopathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum Vicia faba L. It was a high-protein forage and vegetable crop with a high productivity potential limited by pathogenic mycoflora. Fusariomycoses are dominant in the bean mycoses complex. Fusariosis are widely known phytomycoses in the world with a wide range of mycotoxins, and beans are used for food, including in dietetics, and for livestock feed, all over the world. There are no varieties of beans completely resistant to fusariosis and the problem of resistance of forage beans to Fusarium pathogens is urgent.
