Nanoparticles (NPs) have a critical function in mitigating the disease of fruits and vegetables. In the present investigation, the effects of three levels of concentrations (0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 mg/mL) of titanium dioxide NPs (TiO 2 -NPs) and silicon dioxide NPs (SiO 2 -NPs) were investigated against fungus  Phomopsis vexans , bacterium  Ralstonia solanacearum , and  Meloidogyne incognita  (root-knot nematode). The present investigation’s findings found that the application of SiO 2 -NPs was more efficient against test pathogens in comparison to TiO 2 -NPs. The best result produced by SiO 2 -NPs against pathogenic strain was used in the molecular docking investigation with the protein of  R. solanacearum  to better understand the interaction of active amino acids with SiO 2 -NPs. The obtained results revealed that the administration of 0.20 mg/mL foliar spray of SiO 2 -NPs in plants with  M. incognita  improves up to 37.92% of shoot dry weight and increases 70.42% of chlorophyll content.  P. vexans  growth was suppressed by 41.2% with 0.62 mm of inhibition zone when SiO 2 -NPs were given at a dosage of 0.20 mg/mL. The reductions in egg hatching and  M. incognita  (J 2 ) mortality were greater in SiO 2 -NPs than in TiO 2 -NPs. The results of scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the application of both NPs harmed test pathogens. The confocal study also showed the penetration of NPs among test pathogens.
