Comparative efficacy of silver nanoparticles from agro-industrial waste of cumin, anise, and banana peel against Fusarium oxysporum on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Abstract Fusarium oxysporum , the causal agent of root rot and vascular wilt in common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), represents a substantial risk to legume cultivation. The current study offers a comparative examination of the antifungal efficacy of agro-industrial wastes from cumin ( Cuminum cyminum ), anise ( Pimpinella anisum ), and banana peel ( Musa paradisiaca ), and their green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), against F. oxysporum infecting P. vulgaris . The biosynthesized AgNPs
