In vitro antifungal potential of citral and nanoencapsulated citral against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici

April 2024 - Vol 23 Num. 4

This study aimed to encapsulate citral in chitosan nanoparticles and test its antifungal activity, along with the nanoparticles, against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL), a soil-borne pathogen causing worldwide yield losses in tomato production. The nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron...
