Abstract:
In recent years, a considerable interest was paid to ecological strategies in management of plant diseases and plant growth. Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) gained considerable interest as alternative to pesticides due to their high antimicrobial activity. Green synthesis of MNPs using plant extracts are very advantageous tacking into account that plants are easily available, eco-friendly and possess many phyto-compounds that help bioreduction of metal ions. In this research work, we phytosynthesized MNPs with high antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. The “green” MNPs were characterized by modern biophysical methods (ATR, FTIR, absorption and emission spectroscopy, AFM, DLS, zeta potential measurements.
