| Fungal plant diseases are considered one of the most destructive diseases for plants. In this current study, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum as a fungal plant pathogen was isolated from an infected Carum carvi L. plant (C. carvi) for the first time and controlled it using clove essential oil nanoemulsion (CEONE). This fungal plant pathogen was identified morphologically and genetically, then deposited in the gene bank under accession number OQ338188. CEONE was prepared and characterized using DLS, Zeta potential, and TEM analysis. The characterization results illustrated that the size of CEONE was lower than 100 nm, which was confirmed by TEM, which appeared spherical in shape. Results revealed that CEONE has promising antifungal activity towards N. dimidiatum, where inhibition percentages of CEONE at concentrations of 5000, 3000, and 1000 ppm were 82.2%, 53.3%, and 25.5%, respectively. At the pot level, N. dimidiatum was highly virulent on C. carvi, and CEONE and CEO were highly effective against N. dimidiatum blight disease, with 71.42% and 57.14% protection, respectively. Moreover, results revealed that there was a vast improvement in root length, plant height, and leaves. Additionally, the application of CEONE and CEO induced plant resistance by modifying proline, phenol, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde, and antioxidant enzymes. In conclusion, N. dimidiatum was highly virulent on C. carvi but can be effectively reduced by CEONE through the eco-friendly method. |
