Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Using Aqueous Leaf Extract of Buchanania lanzan Spreng and Evaluation of Their Antifungal Activity against Phytopathogenic Fungi

Table 1

Antifungal activity of AgNPs on in vitro mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani.

Treatment	% inhibition mycelia growth^a
Control^b	0.0^D
50 ppm	47.22 ± 0.82^C
100 ppm	52.16 ± 0.76^B
150 ppm	75.01 ± 0.876^A

^aEach value is the mean of the three replicates. Mean ± SE followed by the same letter in the column of each treatment represents no significant difference at by the Tukey–Kramer HSD test. % inhibition rate was calculated compared with mycelial growth of the control (0%). ^bControl without any formulation. The observations were recorded after 5 days of incubation.
