Synthesis and estimation of copper nanoparticles as agrochemicals against Phytophthora spp.

Nanoparticles have been extensively in recent years. The effective applications of nanoparticles depend on their sizes. Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are among metal nanoparticles which have been reported by many researchers. In this work, CNPs have been synthesized from copper sulfate via chemical reduction method in the presence of trisodium citrate dispersant and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as protecting agents.
