“…Moreover, combining the fungicide Flusilazole with plant extracts improved the efficacy against fungal pathogens of pomegranate fruit rots. The results of our study demonstrate the potential of using plant extracts in combination with a fungicide to improve the efficiency of the antifungal activity (Derbalah et al, 2012). In decay inhibition studies on Granny Smith apples, synergistic and additive effects were observed for many of the combinations between plant extracts used in that study and fungicide kresoxim-methyl (Fielding et al, 2015).…”

“…Besides the efficient antifungal effects of NPs investigated in our study, other NPs also showed antifungal property against B. cinerea . For example, Ag NPs could significantly inhibit the growth of B. cinerea at concentration of 25 mg/L, and the inhibition effect was dose-dependent ( Derbalah et al, 2012 ). Additionally, Ag NPs could also suppress other fungi such as A. alternata, S. sclerotiorum, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani , and C. lunata ( Kovačec et al, 2017 ).…”

Nanoparticles (NPs) have great potential for use in the fields of biomedicine, building materials, and environmental protection because of their antibacterial properties. However, there are few reports regarding the antifungal activities of NPs on plants. In this study, we evaluated the antifungal roles of NPs against Botrytis cinerea, which is a notorious worldwide fungal pathogen. Three common carbon nanomaterials, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, fullerene, and reduced graphene oxide, and three commercial metal oxidant NPs, copper oxide (CuO) NPs, ferric oxide (Fe2O3) NPs, and titanium oxides (TiO2) NPs, were independently added to water-agar plates at 50 and 200-mg/L concentrations. Detached rose petals were inoculated with spores of B. cinerea and co-cultured with each of the six nanomaterials. The sizes of the lesions on infected rose petals were measured at 72 h after inoculation, and the growth of fungi on the rose petals was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The six NPs inhibited the growth of B. cinerea, but different concentrations had different effects: 50 mg/L of fullerene and CuO NPs showed the strongest antifungal properties among the treatments, while 200 mg/L of CuO and Fe2O3 showed no significant antifungal activities. Thus, NPs may have antifungal activities that prevent B. cinerea infections in plants, and they could be used as antifungal agents during the growth and post-harvesting of roses and other flowers.

“…In another in vitro investigation, silver nanoparticles (50 nm) at different concentrations (25-100 mg• L −1 ) were prepared and combined with the fungicide tolclofosmethyl. This combination performed better than individual compounds against B. cinerea; in particular, the most significant inhibition for the pathogen was obtained when the ratio between silver nanoparticles to tolclofos-methyl was 100:10 [73].…”

Nanomaterials as Alternative Control Means Against Postharvest Diseases in Fruit Crops

Post-harvest diseases of fruit and vegetables have to be controlled because of the high added value of commodities and the great economic loss related to spoilage. Synthetic fungicides are the first choice worldwide to control post-harvest diseases of fruit and vegetables. However, several problems and constraints related to their use have forced scientists to develop alternatives control means to prevent post-harvest diseases. Physical and biological means, resistance inducers, and GRAS (generally recognized as safe) compounds are the most important alternatives used during the last 20 years. Recently, nanomaterial treatments have demonstrated promising results and they are being investigated to reduce the utilization of synthetic fungicides to control post-harvest rot in fruit and vegetables. The collective information in this review article covers a wide range of nanomaterials used to control post-harvest decays related to each selected fruit crop including grape, citrus, banana, apple, mango, peach, and nectarine. Other examples also used are apricot, guava, avocado, papaya, dragon, pear, longan, loquat, jujubes, and pomegranate fruits.
