Effect of IONPs on growth parameters of different groups from Tomato plants (G1,healthy plants, G2 infected plants, G7 and G8 healthy plants treated with 25 ml of IONPs at a concentration 4.5 and 1 5 mg/ml respectively and G9,G10 infected plants treated with 25 ml of IONPs at a concentration 4.5 and 1 5 mg/ml respectively) (a) shoot and root length, (b) fresh and dry weight, (c) chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and (d) disease severity. The data points are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical difference denotes at *P ≤ 0.05 compared to healthy plants (G1) and #P ≤ 0.05 compared to infected plants(G2).
