✅   Impact of Nigrospora oryzae-Derived Natural Products on Photosynthesis and Oxidative Stress in Eichhornia crassipes

science

Interest in natural herbicides has been growing due to government policies restricting synthetic herbicide use in many countries. In that regard, this study investigates the potential of Nigrospora oryzae extract as a natural herbicide against the aquatic invasive weed Eichhornia crassipes. A stable formulation was developed with a droplet size of 36.44 ± 0.36 nm and a zeta potential of -62.59 mV. Pot-based experiments revealed the N. oryzae extract induced 38.33% phytotoxicity within 24 hours,...
