Anti-Therapeutic Action: ZnO NPs harmful to plants at higher dosages

Antifungal activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on Fusarium equiseti phytopathogen isolated from tomato plant in Nepal

Researchers in Nepal isolated a fungus called Fusarium equiseti that damages tomato plants and created tiny zinc oxide particles from tea leaves to fight it. These nanoparticles successfully stopped the fungus from growing, reducing its growth by up to 85%. This discovery offers farmers an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides that harm the environment and create resistant fungi.
