Abstract
As a natural raw waste of agricultural origin, sugarcane bagasse has several
potential future applications upon converting into promising products. Both alkalinetreated solution and cellulose pulp were used for preparation of antifungal silica-based
nanoparticles (Si-NPs) beside glucose production, respectively. Adopting the agardisc diffusion technique, nanosilica successfully exhibited in vitro antifungal activity
towards the pathogen Fusarium solani, inhibition zones of 0.4-0.9 cm dia. were
measured. In a pot experiment, increasing levels of NPK fertilization regimes and SiNPs were examined for protecting potatoes from the fungal attack. The highest rates
of both amendments supported sufficient tuber yield and vegetative growth, plants
heavily dressed hosted 9-25 tubers plant-1 with fresh weights of 159.9-550.6 g plant-1
.
The pathogenicity of F. solani towards the vegetable plant significantly diminished in
presence of NPK and Si-NPs.
