Optimization of green silver nanoparticles as nanofungicides for management of rice bakanae disease.

Rice bakanae, a devastating seed-borne disease caused by species requires a more attractive and eco-friendly management strategy. The optimization of plant-mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as nanofungicides by targeting species may be a rational approach. In this study, leaf aqueous extract-based AgNPs (LAE-AgNPs) were synthesized through the optimization of three reaction parameters: leaf amount, plant extract-to-AgNO ratio (reactant ratio), and incubation time.
