<i>Trichoderma harzianum</i>-Mediated ZnO Nanoparticles: A Green Tool for Controlling Soil-Borne Pathogens in Cotton
ZnO-based nanomaterials have high antifungal effects, such as inhibition of growth and reproduction of some pathogenic fungi, such as <i>Fusarium</i> sp., <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> and <i>Macrophomina phaseolina</i>. Therefore, we report the extracellular synthesi...

ZnO-based nanomaterials have high antifungal effects, such as inhibition of growth and reproduction of some pathogenic fungi, such as <i>Fusarium</i> sp., <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> and <i>Macrophomina phaseolina</i>. Therefore, we report the extracellular synthesis of ZnONPs using a potential fungal antagonist (<i>Trichoderma harzianum</i>). ZnONPs were then characterized for their size, shape, charge and composition by visual analysis, UV–visible spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The TEM test confirmed that the size of the produced ZnONPs was 8–23 nm. The green synthesized ZnONPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies to reveal the functional group attributed to the formation of ZnONPs. For the first time, trichogenic ZnONPs were shown to have fungicidal action against three soil–cotton pathogenic fungi in the laboratory and greenhouse.
