Organometallic assembling of chitosan‐Iron oxide nanoparticles with their antifungal evaluation againstRhizopus oryzae

The ever‐increasing resistance of plant microbes towards fungicides and bactericides has been causing serious threat to plant production in recent years. For the development of an effective antifungal agent, we introduce a novel hydrothermal protocol for synthesis of chitosan iron oxide nanoparticles (CH‐Fe 2 O 3 NPs) using acetate buffer of low pH 5.0 for intermolecular interaction of Fe 2 O 3 NPs and CH. The composite structure and elemental...
