Biogenically engineered nanoparticles inhibit causing soft-rot of ginger.

Soft-rot of ginger () is the most important disease usually caused by () leading to significant yield loss. In this study, chitosan, copper and sulphur nanoparticles synthesised from leaf extract of selected plants were screened against two isolates of recovered from the infected rhizome of ginger and soil samples. Moreover, among these, sulphur nanoparticles showed maximum inhibition of isolated from soil samples (ZOI = 12.
