Abstract | The current study reports antioxidant and antifungal activity of green and chemically synthesised zinc oxide nanoparticles in combination with agricultural fungicides carbendazim, mancozeb, and thiram. Nanoparticles were synthesised using previously standardised procedure and characterised, which confirmed particle size of <100 nm. These nanoparticles were then analysed for their antifungal and antioxidant activity. For fractional inhibitory concentration analysis, nanoparticles were combined with fungicides and tested against five fungal phytopathogens, namely Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Penicillium expansum. Nanoparticles positively influenced the antifungal potential of all test fungicides and excellent synergism was observed against all tested fungi. Further, the antioxidant activity of the stated nanosuspension was accessed by conducting free radical scavenging assay using 1,1 diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl. L- ascorbic acid was used as a standard reference. Radical scavenging improved with increasing concentration of nanoparticles and percent scavenging as high as 87% was observed at 125 µg/mL. Thus, this work reports the synthesis of stable zinc oxide nanosuspension with good antifungal potential and efficient antioxidant activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
