Cover Story: Hazelnut is a relevant agro-food supply chain worldwide, whose cultivation is threatened by several biological adversities. Among them, bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina (Xac), is one of the most dangerous. In this work, the lignocellulosic biomasses obtained from hazelnut pruning and shelling residues were used as a renewable source for cellulose nanocrystal and lignin nanoparticle synthesis. Both nanomaterials were deeply characterized for the capability of inhibiting the in vitro growth of Xac and reducing the severity of the disease on hazelnut plants, showing at the same time a full biological compatibility.
