synthesis of silver nanoparticles. h e synthesized nanoparticle particles
displayed high antifungal activity at er application on cotton and silk
fabrics against Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria brassicicola [129].
Likewise, leaf extracts of Eucalyptus citriodora and Ficus bengalensis plants
were used to produce silver nanoparticles in the range of 20 nm [130].
