Copper-fixed quat: a hybrid nanoparticle for application as a locally systemic pesticide (LSP) to manage bacterial spot disease of tomato
The development of bacterial tolerance against pesticides poses a serious threat to the sustainability of food production. Widespread use of copper (Cu)-based products for plant disease management has led to the emergence of copper-tolerant pathogens such as Xanthomonas perforans ( X. perforans ) st...

Zusammenfassung: | The development of bacterial tolerance against pesticides poses a serious threat to the sustainability of food production. Widespread use of copper (Cu)-based products for plant disease management has led to the emergence of copper-tolerant pathogens such as
Xanthomonas perforans
(
X. perforans
) strains in Florida, which is very destructive to the tomato (
Solanum lycopersicum
) industry. In this study, we report a hybrid nanoparticle (NP)-based system, coined Locally Systemic Pesticide (LSP), which has been designed for improved efficacy compared to conventional Cu-based bactericides against Cu-tolerant
X. perforans
. The silica core-shell structure of LSP particles makes it possible to host ultra-small Cu NPs ( |
