- Observation The third S. cepivorum isolate from Abu-Hamad was the most pathogenic of four isolates.
- Intervention effect Fe3O4 NPs showed potential to inhibit S. cepivorum mycelial growth in vitro.
- Intervention effect Cu NPs showed potential to inhibit S. cepivorum mycelial growth in vitro.
- Intervention effect ZnO NPs showed potential to inhibit S. cepivorum mycelial growth in vitro.
- Observation Salicylic acid and Fe3O4 NPs showed synergistic inhibition in vitro.
- Intervention effect Fe3O4 NPs at 1000–1400 ppm reduced onion white rot incidence, with reported incidence of 65.0–80.0%.
- Intervention effect Fe3O4 NPs at 1000–1400 ppm reduced onion white rot severity, with reported severity of 80.0–90.0%.
- Intervention effect ZnO NPs had the most positive impact on onion chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Cu NPs had minimal effects on onion chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect At 1000 ppm, Fe3O4 NPs had variable effects on total, free, and related phenolic compounds.
- Intervention effect ZnO NPs caused minor fluctuations in phenolic compounds.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid reduced onion incidence (10.0%).
