Effect of silver nanoparticles synthesized by extracellular agents of Bacillus pumilus, B. persicus, and B. licheniformis on BYMV infected Vicia faba L. cv. Giza3 and non-infected plants. The nanoparticles were sprayed simultaneously with virus inoculation (experimental Group I); before inoculation (Group II) or after inoculation (Group III). Systemic severe mosaic, crinkling, and size reduction were observed in the case of infected leaves. These symptoms were reduced or completely disappeared when plants were treated with silver nanoparticles synthesized by the isolates, especially those of B. licheniformis of Group III.
