This study investigates the impact of copper (Cu) stress on tomato plants (Solanum pimpinellifolium) and explores potential chitosan nanosilver (nAg) in mitigating its effects. Copper, while essential for plant growth, can be toxic at elevated levels, leading to oxidative reduced productivity. research focuses determining how nAg treatments influence fruit yield, biochemical responses under Cu-induced stress. A greenhouse experiment was conducted, where were treated with Cu, chitosan, nAg, their combinations. The results revealed that improved root enhanced antioxidant properties, including increased ascorbic acid lycopene content. Nanosilver treatments, reducing shoot significantly yield potassium uptake. combination Cu or provided synergistic benefits, improving resilience quality. Specifically, copper+chitosan (Cu+Ch) dry matter delayed ripening, Cu+nAg uptake overall yield. Additionally, accelerated ripening tomatoes. These findings suggest are effective strategies mitigate toxicity plants, offering a sustainable approach improve crop productivity quality heavy metal conditions.
