Green synthesis and characterization of Zinc oxide nanoparticles using plant Asparagus officinalis and effect on Aspergillus species

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of green nano zinc oxide in inhibiting some fungi producing aflatoxin, Mycotoxin producing fungi were detected using coconut media and TLC plates, Zinc oxide nano showed inhibitory efficacy against the fungi studied. The nanomaterial was diagnosed using XRD, UV, SEM, FT-IR and AFM, The fungicidal activity of green nano was tested against aflatoxin producing fungi, A.flavus ,A.niger, A.oryzae , A.fumigatus with excellent antifungal action
