dc.abstract.enRecently, copper oxide–ferric oxide nanocomposites (CuO/Fe2O3-NCs) have gained popularity and are widely employed in various applications. However, their effectiveness against phytopathogens has not been studied yet. This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of CuO/Fe2O3-NCs using the hydrothermal technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the produced nanocomposite (NC). EDX and TEM analyses revealed the presence of Cu, Fe, and O elements. The NC had a polygonal shape with sides around 12nm, spherical CuO particles of 7–10 nm, and plate-like Fe2O3. XRD measurements confirmed the crystal and hexagonal structures of CuO and Fe2O3. The XRDpatterns of CuO/Fe2O3 showed the characteristic peaks of (−111) and (004) reflections for CuO at 35.69° and 37.73°. The FTIR spectra showed characteristic lines at 525 and 567cm−1 for the Cu–O bond and Fe–O stretching modes of Fe2O3, respectively. The antifungal activity of CuO/Fe2O3-NCs showed significant growth inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Botrytis cinerea by up to 71, 50, and 81%, respectively, at 100 µg/mL. At 50 µg/mL, the antibacterial test revealed inhibition zones of 12.33 mm for Pectobacterium carotovorum, 9.33 mm for Streptomyces scabies, 10.67mm for Pectobacterium atrosepticum, and 14.67 mm for Ralstonia solanacearum. The results show that CuO/Fe2O3-NCs can efficiently suppress the growth of various fungal and bacterial strains, making them potential antimicrobial agents against phytopathogenic microorganisms.
