Abstract: Nanoparticles have different mechanical, chemical, electrical, and optical properties that make them suitable for technological and agriculture applications In this study, the results revealed that the effectiveness of nanoparticles (MgONPs, ZnONPs) inhibition the Pythium aphanidermatum. Magnisum oxide nanoparticles, the higher inhibition of the fungus 100 %, 98.0 % followed by zinc oxide nanoparticle 97 %, 99.80 %.

Keywords: Nanoparticles magnisum oxide, Zincoxide, Pythium aphanidermatu cucurbit fruit
