<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...
