“…On the other hand, the present results showed that cucumber yield in plots treated with nanosulfur recorded the highest mean number of fruits/ plant and mean weight of one fruit and accordingly highest mean weight of fruits/ plant (750 g) compared to only 455 and 350 g for cucumber treated with azoxystrobin and diniconazole, respectively. These results are in harmony with those obtained by Salem et al (2016) who found that nanosulfure increased the yield of Cucurbita pepo and improved the morphological parameters of the treated plants in addition to reduce the plant infection with fungi in plots treated with azoxystrobin and diniconazole.…”

The present work was carried out to explore the potential use of the new approach of sulfur nanoparticles compared with bulk sulfur and two other systemic fungicides to control powdery mildew in cucumber. Also, the Fungicide residues in cucumber were estimated. Examination of physico-chemical properties of the tested nanoparticles was done by using transmission electron microscope and X-Ray diffraction, which proved that the tested sulfur was sulfur (S8) with the crystal system and its anorthic and size ranged from 12.2 to 23.5 nm. The three tested fungicides, Super sardo (azoxystrobin), Muringo (diniconazole), Thiofan (bulk sulfur) and Nanosulfur (Snp) were sprayed three times to cucumber growing in pots in a greenhouse. After 3 rd spray, the efficacy of the aforementioned tested fungicides was 74.0, 68.8, 42.7 and 60.9%, respectively. The area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) in case of azoxystribin, bulk sulfur and Snp increased after 1 st and 2 nd sprays, but it decreased after 3 rd treatment. diniconazole recorded continues increase in disease area. Nanosulfur caused the highest number of fruits/plant, mean weight of fruits/plant and mean weight of one fruit and followed by azoxystribin and diniconazole, while bulk sulfur caused the lowest cucumber yield parameters. Assessment of residues of the four tested fungicides 2, 5 and 8 days after the third spray, showed that cucumber fruits can be collected two days after treatment with azoxystribin, bulk sulfur and Nanosulfur, while those treated with diniconazole can be harvested five days after spray.

“…Several studies were conducted to investigate the role of metal nanoparticles on plants growth (Farghaly & Nafady, 2015;Salama, 2012;Hafeez et al, 2015;Du et al, 2011;Jayarambabu et al, 2014). In previous work (Salem et al, 2016) we have reported the effect of sulfur nanoparticles on the growth and development of Cucurbita pepo. As continuation of this work, sulfur nanoparticles synthesized by a green method using Ailanthus altissima leaves extract at room temperature and investigated the effect on tomato growth.…”

The objective of this research work is to synthesize sulfur nanoparticles by green route and to investigate the beneficial effect on root and shoot growth of tomato. Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) synthesized using aqueous extract of Ailanthus altissima leaves at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) inspections indicated that nanoparticles are spherical and polydispersed with diameters ranging between 5 and 80 nm. The potential of sulfur nanoparticles for enhancing tomato's growth, increasing the concentration of sulfur nanoparticles from 100 ppm to 300 ppm cause an increase in root and shoot lengths, while higher concentration 400 ppm and 600 ppm induced an inhibitory effect. Results of this study reveal that SNPs have the potential to enhance root and shoot growth of tomato and the effect is concentration dependent.

“…Various surfactants and polymers of synthetic or natural origin can be used as a stabilising shell [16]. In particular, Chaudhuri RG and Paria S, Salem N, et al, Seitzhan T, et al, Kouzegaran VJ and Farhadi K report on the successful application of Triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulphate, cetyl trimethylammoniumbromide, The aqueous extract of Melia azedarach leaves , sulfanol, sodium ligninsulphonate, sodium salt of polynaphthalene sulphonic acid, water soluble polymer sodium carboxymethylcellulose, saponin extracted from A and Phylum Bracteatum as effective stabilizers of S 0 NPs [17][18][19][20][21][22]. However, the employment of plant extracts for the synthesis of S 0 NPs hinders standardisation and reproduction of the target nanomaterials due to heterogeneity of the chemical composition of the natural raw material, which depends strongly on the source and extraction method.…”

Water-soluble, stable nanoparticles of elemental sulphur with a size of 9-52 nm have been synthesised using the stabilising potential of starch. Sulphide anions were used as sulphur precursors that were generated earlier from the bulk powder sulphur in the base-reduction system NaOH-N 2 H 4 •H 2 O followed by their oxidation with molecular oxygen to element sulphur atoms. Using a set of modern spectral and microscopic methods (XRD, optical spectroscopy, DLS, TEM), the phase state, elemental composition of the nanocomposites and their nanomorphological characteristics have been investigated. It was found that nanocomposites are formed as sulphur particles with the shape which is nearly spherical dispersed in the polysaccharide starch matrix with a pronounced tendency to cluster into ring formations. Water solubility and stability of the obtained nanoparticles is ensured by sorption of starch macromolecules on the surface of sulphur nanoparticles, with the thickness of the stabilising shell in a range of 10-171 nm. In vitro experiments were carried out to study the anti-microbial activity of the obtained sulphur nanocomposite (1.6% S) using the propidium iodide fluorescent dye staining method and the diffusion method. It showed that the water solution of the starch-capped sulphur nanoparticles at the concentration of 6.25 µg/ml had a pronounced anti-phytopathogenic activity against the potato ring rot pathogen Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus.
