- Abstract
In this investigation, we described the synthesis and characterization of Silica nanoparticles from oat grass leaves. Our study described the synthesis and characterization of Silica nanoparticles derived from oat grass leaves. We analysed the nanoparticles using different characterization techniques including Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Scanning electron micrographs and transmission electron micrographs revealed the formation agglomerated amorphous silica nanoparticles with an average size of 100nm. EDX analysis was utilized to discover the elemental composition of the silica nanoparticles. Under laboratory conditions, the direct antifungal activity of silica nanoparticles (SiO2-NPs) against Phytophthora infestans was assessed. A concentration of 1.4% SiO2-NPs demonstrates increased antifungal action against the pathogen. The study reveals encouraging findings regarding the use of SiO2-NPs as a viable and safe substitute for fungicides in controlling late blight diseases.
