Inhibition of Fusarium solani in transgenic insect-resistant cotton plants treated with silver nanoparticles from Prosopis glandulosa and Pluchea sericea

Abstract The phytosynthesis of nanoparticles is a green chemistry approach that combines nanotechnology and bioactive compounds of plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Prosopis glandulosa and Pluchea sericea, respectively, on the control of Fu...
