The purpose of this study was to evaluate Cu-chitosan NCPs for its antifungal activities against Fusarium verticillioids causing post flowering stalk rot (PFSR) disease of maize. Cu-chitosan NCPs were prepared based on the ionic gelation of chitosan with tripolyphosphate anions and Copper ions having particle size ( nm), polydispersity index (), zeta potential (+ mV).Various concentrations of Cu-chitosan NCP was applied in pot and field experiments. |
