Bismuth ferrite nanoparticles decorated with multi-walled carbon nanotube nanoparticles were prepared using a Sol-Gel soft chemical approach technique. The synthesis was carried out under green conditions using high-quality acetate precursor salts. The carbon nanotubes were obtained from the germination of chippikalan oyster mushroom. The successful synthesis of the nanoparticles was confirmed by several characterization techniques, including structural, morphological, and optical studies. The nanoparticles were capped with various phytochemicals found in the leaf extract of Murrayakoenigii and Azadirachta indica. The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of biogenic Bismuth ferrite oxide multiwalled carbon nanotube nanoparticles on the growth of oyster mushrooms. The plant growth parameters such as stem length, breadth, germination spores percentage, spores germination rate, and mean daily germination were observed.
