Abstract
This project describes the synthesis and applications of magnesium oxide nanoparticles in the agricultural sector, focusing on their antipathogenic capability against the plant pathogenic fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, and their transport properties. The study elucidates their effectiveness as alternatives to conventional copper-based fungicides, highlighting their potential for sustainable agriculture and providing insights into their transport dynamics in soil and plant systems.
