Further, antifungal potential of thus
synthesized AgNPs was evaluated. All the synthesized AgNPs possess ability to inhibit fungal growth.
Cymbopogon citratus leaf extract mediated AgNPs were found to have prominent antifungal potential
against all test fungi and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was found to be 20 mg/ml. The
biogenic approach proposed in the present study is eco-friendly, safe and economical viable. AgNPs also
reported to have significant antifungal activity against toxigenic isolates of peanuts, hence such AgNPs
can be effectively used for the management of toxigenic pathogens
