Article Synopsis
- Beetle infestations, specifically by Carpophilus truncatus and Oryzaephilus mercator, negatively impact walnut yield and quality by exposing them to harmful microbes like Fusarium species.
- This research focuses on creating eco-friendly copper oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts from Lippia integrifolia (CuO-I) and Pimpinella anisum (CuO-A), which were found to be effective against pests and harmful fungi.
- Characterization techniques revealed that these nanoparticles are small (2-10 nm) and exhibit strong antifungal and insecticidal properties, suggesting they could be viable alternatives for pest control in walnut storage.
