The simple, eco-friendly and cost effective approach of PtNPs synthesis is studied.
The PtNPs are synthesized using gum extract obtain from Prunus × yedoensis tree.
The PtNPs are characterized by UV–vis spectra, XRD, FTIR and TEM.
The PtNPs showed antifungal activity against Colletotrichum acutatum and Cladosporium fulvum phytopathogenic fungi.
