Synthesis and characterization of Ni_0.5Al_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanoparticles for potent antifungal activity against dry rot of ginger (Fusarium oxysporum).

ABSTRACT: Current study signifies the use of nanoparticles as alternative in plant disease management to avoid harmful effect of pesticide and fungicide residue. Synthesis of nanoparticles (Ni_0.5Al_0.5Fe₂O₄) by hydrothermal method and studied their X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman spectra, and UV spectra and further successfully evaluated for antifungal activity against a soil and seed borne pathogenic fungus (Fusarium oxysporum).Among various pests, fungal pathogens are the main cause of crop destruction and we developed nanoparticles (Ni_0.5Al_0.5Fe₂O₄) which is successfully evaluated for antimycotic activity against dry rot (F. oxysporum) of ginger which causes 50-70% losses in the ginger plant.
