Synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles Using Trichoderma harzianum and Its Bio-efficacy on Alternaria brassicae
Provisionally accepted- Division of Plant Pathology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR), New Delhi, India
I am submitting my research manuscript titled "Synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles Using Trichoderma harzianum and Its Bio-efficacy on Alternaria brassicae." This research represents a significant step forward in the sustainable control of Alternaria brassicae, a serious fungal pathogen that affects mustard plants and poses risks to agricultural productivity and economic viability. My study investigates an innovative method to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles through the biological process of myco-synthesis using T. harzianum. It not only provides an environmentally friendly and cost-effective technique for producing nanoparticles, but also increases the effectiveness of these nanoparticles against A. brassicae. The results highlight the potential of M-ZnO nanoparticles in controlling plant diseases and provide an alternative to chemical fungicides that can have negative environmental impacts.
