Abstract

New data on the effect of colloidal silicon nanoparticles on the content of nutrients and photosynthetic pigments in tomato plants invaded by root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita are presented. Foliar treatment of plants with colloidal solutions of silicon nanoparticles at concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0 μg/mL revealed an increase in the content of photosynthetic pigments and a number of biogenic elements (P, Mg, K, S, and Fe) in tomato leaves, indicating an improvement in the physiological state of the invaded plants. The stimulating effect of nanosilicon on the development and growth of plants and the inhibiting effect on the susceptibility of plants by nematodes and the morpho-physiological parameters of the parasite is shown.
