Copper-based nanomaterials are effective alternatives to traditional pesticides due their antibacterial properties. However, the high cost and low dispersity limit application. In this study, we synthesized cost-effective, eco-friendly, stable chitosan-copper hybrid nanoflowers (CS-Cu HNFs) through facile self-assembly manage agricultural diseases caused by fungal pathogen (
