Description
Idris Bektas reports a 2025 study of a fungus made silver product that may protect stored onions from rot. A fungus causes basal root rot and leads to large losses in storage. Bektas first grew tiny silver particles with the help of a second fungus, using a green method. Tests confirmed the particles were silver based and very small. The product was then tried on the rot fungus in dishes and on onion bulbs.
In dishes, higher doses sharply slowed fungal growth, and the top dose stopped it fully. On bulbs, higher doses cut rot size and lowered disease rates in a clear dose pattern. Readers see lab and bulb test results side by side for a plant based route to a common crop disease.
