Conocarpus erectus , Nanohybrid Composite Against Fusarium pro-liferatumAbstract
This work studied the Comparative Evaluation of Antifungal Activity of Conocarpus erectus Leaf Methanolic Extract and Its Nanohybrid Composite Against Fusarium proliferatum. antifungal properties of a methanolic extract of Conocarpus erectus leaves and a hybrid nano-methanolic extract solution against F. proliferatum, along with its zearalenone synthesis. A 1.5 ml concentration of the methanolic extract of Conocarpus erectus leaves showed an inhibitory effect on fungal development, resulting in a growth rate of 4.067 mm. The optimal concentration of the hybrid nano-extract solution was 20 mg/ml, resulting in a fungal growth rate of 0.773 mm, in contrast to the control treatment, which exhibited a growth rate of 5.017 mm. This concentration also reduced the amount of zearalenone produced by the fungus to 16.10 ppb compared to the control treatment, which amounted to 98.92 ppb.
