Abstract: Inefficient and excessive use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides causes environmental risks. Concurrent with the recent increase in agriculturalproductivity, agricultural systems are now also recognized to be a significant source of environmentaldamage. Chitosan is a biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic polymer with various applications. In the present investigation, the efficacy of Cu-chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) to boost defense responses against Xanthomonas axonopodispv. glycineswere evaluated. X. axonopodiscauses Bacterial Pustule disease in soybean. Cu-chitosan NPs treated plants showed significant defense response through higher activities of antioxidant (SOD and POD) and defense enzymes (PPO and PAL). Significant control of Bacterial pustule disease of soybean was recorded at 0.06%concentration of Cu-chitosan NPs treatments in pot and field condition. The potential of Cu-chitosan NPs is this studyanticipated that developed NPs could be further exploited in large scale experiments.
