Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
For effective use of curcumin in plant disease management, it is imperative to increase its solubility. Decreasing the particle size can increase the surface area and enhance solubility. Therefore, the present study aims to prepare curcumin copper nanoparticles (Cur-CuNPs) to improve its aqueous solubility to use as an antifungal agent and to protect chickpea plants from the devastating pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC). The Cur-CuNPs were analyzed by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The structure, size, morphology was characterized through FTIR, SEM, TEM and XRD analyses. The Cur-CuNPs synthesized in this study was found to be freely dispersible in water and inhibits the growth of FOC under in vitro condition, protects the chickpea plant from wilt disease. Application of Cur-CuNPs to chickpea seed influenced the growth parameters such as root, shoot length, number of leaves and dry weight. These results indicate that Cur-CuNPs can be integrated in disease management strategies as fungicide and as nanofertilizer to enhance chickpea plant health.
