An embodiment of the invention is a treatment for the mitigation and prevention of systemic infection of plants by Xylella fastidiosa using materials derived from bactericidal metals wherein one metal is silver. The candidate bactericidal metal is preferably introduced in metallic, nanocrystalline, salt form, chelated form, or otherwise coupled form. Metal atoms, ions, molecules, or clusters are introduced to the plant to the plant by injection, ballistic insertion, pneumatic insertion, mechanical insertion, manual insertion, root application, aerosolization, or spray in sufficient concentration to treat, cure, and/or prevent plant disease or reduced productivity caused by X. fastidiosa.
