  The purpose of this research was to determine the inhibitor effects of nanocomposites over two pathogenic fungi: Botrytis fabae Sard and Fusarium oxysporum isolated from bean crops. These nanocomposites were prepared with elemental sulfur nanoparticles coated with essential oils (four levels, three oils) and further stabilized with chitosan. The research was conducted in the microbiology laboratory of CENCINAT. We evaluated 12 nanocomposites at room temperature and PDA plates at pH 4 for 10 days and compared to controls with no nanocomposites additions. Data for statistical analysis were gathered starting from the seventh growth day because of the fungi efficient growth without treatment is between the fourth and fifth day, respectively. Statistical experimental analysis were carried out through a complete randomized block design using each Petri dish, with spots with 4 nacomposites i.. View More»
