e0“Leaf blight and fruit rot caused by Phomopsis vexans are critical issues for eggplant crops”
e5“In infected plants, the 30 g + SiO2-NPs treatment produced substantial improvement in plant height (+31.3%) and shoot biomass and restored chlorophyll and carotenoid contents by 63% and 28.1%, respectively”
e6“This treatment also produced the lowest blight index and the strongest enzymatic responses”

- Intervention effect Fungal infection reduced eggplant plant height by 22%.
- Intervention effect Fungal infection markedly decreased chlorophyll and carotenoid levels in eggplant.
- Intervention effect In infected eggplant, the highest biochar dose (30 g) increased plant height by 17.1%.
- Intervention effect In infected eggplant, the highest biochar dose (30 g) increased pigment concentrations.
- Intervention effect In infected eggplant, the highest biochar dose (30 g) increased POX and PPO activities.
- Intervention effect Adding biochar reduced the blight index in infected eggplant.
- Intervention effect Combining biochar with SiO2-NPs made the improvements more pronounced than biochar alone.
