Fig. 6
(a,b) Growth inhibition of 3 bacterial isolates corresponding to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas spp after the application of 64 ppm of the nanocomposite or a commercial pesticide and its dilutions corresponding to 32,16,8 and 4 ppm respectively. The graphed data showing also DL50 and IC50 values, correspond to the average values of the 4 replicates present in each Petri dish ± one standard deviation (SD). The inhibitory activity is represented by the diameter of the growth inhibition halo (mm) including disc area as shown in the illustrative figure (c,d) corresponding to the experiment carried out using only the bacterium B. amyloliquefaciens and how the halo measurement was carried out. Commercial pesticide was used in parallel as control in all these experiments.
