Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici is one of the most important diseases in tomatoes, resulting in severe yield loss and mycotoxin infection in food and feed. The management of Fusarium wilt is based heavily on chemical fungicides, but these chemicals have many environmental concerns. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are gaining importance as emerging resistance-free alternatives of chemical fungicides. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized using the aqueous leaf e
