| Ag | Cannabis sativa extracts | Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato | Pseudomonadales/Pseudomonadaceae | Silver nanoparticles containing 90% lower silver content compared to the un-dialyzed silver salt (Ag-UD) exhibited at least 20% more inhibition | [237] |
| AgNO3 and NaBH4 | Ralstonia solanacearum | Burkholderiales/Burkholderiaceae | Silver nanoparticles formed in EPS1 solution exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of bacteria.

| polyvinylpyrrolidone with metallic silver | Candidatus liberobacter | Hyphomicrobiales/Rhizobiaceae | The AgNPs were applied by foliar sprinkling and trunk injection of 93 diseased trees with remarkable results. Both methods produce an 80–90% decrease of bacterial titre | [227] | |
| Aqueous extract of strawberry waste | Ralstonia solanacearum | Burkholderiales/Burkholderiaceae | A strong inhibition zone was found around the paper disc dipped in 100 µg/mL AgNPs, placed in NA media inoculated with R. solanacearum and the inhibition zone was absent around the control disc | [239] | |
| Dioscorea bulbifera | Bacillus sp. | Bacillales/Bacillaceae | Inhibition zone ranged from 6.00 ± 0.41 to 11.00 ± 0.87 mm was observed at a concentration of 100 ppm | [240] | |
| Enterobacter cloacae | Enterobacterales/Enterobacteriaceae | ||||

| Larrea tridentata | Clavibacter michiganensis | Micrococcales/Microbacteriaceae | The disease incidence did not exceed 20%, reduced disease severity by 36%, inhibition of bacterial growth in the tissue (up to 95%) | [242] | |
| Eucalyptus globulus | Xanthomonas citri pv. Citri | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | AgNPs and CuNPs in combination showed maximum growth inhibition (21.06 mm) followed by AgNPs (18.26 mm) and CuNPs (15.27 mm) | [243] | |
| Au | Olea europaea fruit extract, Acacia nilotica and husk extract | Pseudomonas spp | Pseudomonadales/Pseudomonadaceae | AuNPs expressed moderate antibacterial activity and inhibition zone up to 8 mm was found | [244] |
| Phoma sp. | Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | Inhibition rate for sclerotia formation was (15, 33, 74 and 93% at concentrations (10, 20, 40 and 80) μg/mL of AuNPs respectively | [245] | |
| Zn | Morus alba plant leaf extract | Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Malvacearum | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | These NPs was found to be very effective in controlling the bacterial spread in comparison to streptomycin that was used as control | [246] |
| Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim | P. syringae | Pseudomonadales/Pseudomonadaceae |
An inhibition zone of 0.72 mm was observed at concentration of 0.10 mg/mL ZnO NP discs on plates inoculated with Pectobacterium carotovorum |
[247] | |
| Matricaria chamomilla L., Olea europaea and Lycopersicon esculentum M | Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | ZnONPs synthesized by Olea europaeahad the highest inhibition zone of 2.2 cm at concentration of 16 mg/mL | [233] | |
| Green tomato extract | Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | Zinc oxide nanoparticles powder at the concentration of 4.0, 8.0, and 16 μg/mL expressed an inhibitory zone of 2.4, 2.6, and 2.9 cm, compared with that of 1.4, 1.5, and 1.8 cm from bulk zinc oxide, respectively | [248] | |

| Cu | Shell copper and Multivalent copper | Xanthomonas perforans | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | Cu-composites significantly decrease disease severity, using 80% less metallic copper in comparison with Cu-mancozeb in field evaluation (P < 0.05) | [252] |
| Datura Innoxia | Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae | Xanthomonadales/Xanthomonadaceae | CuNPs exhibited effective antibacterial potency against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with mean inhibition zone of approximately 18 mm | [234] | |
