Nanotechnology is a powerful new technology, that can create a huge revolution in food supply and agriculture in global scope. In This research the effects of different concentrations of silver nano particles was studied on germination factors of two cultivars of cotton (Sayokra & Varamin) and one cultivar of mays (Single Cross 704) and the effects of these concentrations on MIC, MBC in (Xanthomonas smithii) as a seed-born bacteria and the agent of blight disease on cotton. The treatments used at this experiment including 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 320, 640 µl/l concentrations of silver nano particles. Their effect were studied on seed germination rate, root, shoot and seedling length. maximum amount of shoot and seedling length in Sayokra was ralated to 120 µl/l and in Varamin cultivar was related to 60 µl/l. About mays cultivar, root, shoot and seedling length had highest and lowest amount at 80 and 160 µl/l respectively, and about the germination rate the lowest amount was relevant to 640 µl/l. in this study the MIC of (X. smithii) was 0.5 µl/l and the 100% inhibitor concentration was 15 µl/l.
