Nanomaterials are gaining tremendous potential as emerging antimicrobials in the quest to
find resistance-free alternatives of chemical pesticides. In this study, stable silver
nanoparticles were synthesized using the aqueous extract of medicinal plant species
Polygonatum geminiflorum, and their morphological features were evaluated by
transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-
ray analysis. In vitro Antifungal activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and …

All over the world, agricultural crops are severely affected by phytopathogenic microbes
which cause a variety of diseases and lead to reduction in their overall productivity (Savary
et al., 2012; Rafique et al., 2017; Saratale et al., 2018). Disruption of the productivity of
important crops due to pathogenic diseases is a serious threat to the global food security
(Savary et al., 2012). Different fungi, bacteria and viruses produce toxic substances that are
harmful to the health of beneficial life forms, thereby compromising the quality and quantity …
