Abstract

, optimized concentration of 200 ppm, Cu NPs produced via all three methods controlled bacterial blight disease in 90% of treated anthurium plants within 4, 7, and 5 weeks, respectively, without causing phytotoxicity. Disease progression was monitored over 12 weeks by measuring lesion areas, and statistical significance of treatments was determined using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
