Table 1 Antibacterial activity of Fe/Cu/P nanocomposite. Data represent the diameter of the inhibition zone (in mm) that is formed as a result of Fe/Cu/P nanocomposite application at 100 and 300 ppm concentration in comparison to positive control (Ciprofloxacin, 5 µg) and negative control (dis. H2O). Means with different letters are significantly different
From: Iron/Copper/Phosphate nanocomposite as antimicrobial, antisnail, and wheat growth-promoting agent
