Re: Banana bunchytop virus control idea
I did watch the video indeed. He said purified water, which doesn't necessarily mean distilled water. He isn't making a colloid he is making a solution of silver ions plus what other partner ions are present in the water.
Anyway silver ions will work just aswell, if not better, than silver particles so give it a try. I'm not denying that silver has an antibiotic effect, that is well documented. I'm not sure if it has any effect on viruses, which is what causes most of these plant diseases.
If you add baking soda you're more likely to make hydrogen and oxygen than silver ions.
