Metal-squid-chitosan nanoparticles as antifungal agents against neurospora spp. pathogen on pleurotus sajor-caju: in vitro and in vivo studies
Contamination of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) cultivation with orange mold (Neurospora spp.) poses a significant economic threat, underscoring the need for sustainable, eco-friendly antifungal strategies. To address this, this study evaluates the efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles (CNs), chitosan–copper (CN–C...
