“…On the other hand, CuNPs with a size of 35nm can also affect the nitrification process. (Ali et al, 2018) [1] . In addition, the presence of nanoparticles can result in cellular toxicity as they can harm biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, leading to chemical reactions.…”

“…For instance, Zn nanoparticles have been found to exhibit genotoxicity, causing DNA damage in plants like onion, negatively impacting seed germination in mustard, and causing leaf damage in soybean at specific higher concentrations. (Ali et al, 2018) [1] . The metabolism, chloroplast ultra-structure, and stomatal conductivity are all suppressed by nanoparticles.…”

Nanotechnology has application potential and prospects in plant pathology in many different aspects viz. direct application in foliage, seeds or soil for plant disease management along with accurate, reproducible, quantitative, reliable, specific, robust, and stable results. Extracellularly and intracellularly synthesis of NPs is carried out using microbes. Detection of plant pathogen plays an important role in successful management of many plant diseases, allowing the effective controlling of disease at various stages of disease development. By virtue of their small size, nanoparticles have exclusive chemical, photosensitive and electrical properties and offer improved surface-to-volume ratios. Nano particles finds application in regulation of pathogen concentration, its severity, rate of infection, and percentage of bacteria and fungi, viruses, actinomycetes and other pathogens. Nanoparticles causes induction of systemic resistance, reduction of cellular factors, inhibition of DNA replication, suppression of polymerase activity and lowering of infection rate. Emergence of nano particles has enormous concern in agriculture in relation to environment. Even though some of the nanoparticles have varied negative effect, which might lead to degradation of root membrane, remodeling agriculture and successful management of plant pathogens would not be possible without nanotechnology which directly reflects positively on the sustenance of food production and fulfil the increasing demands of food production in an efficient and cost-effective way. Moreover, nanotechnology plays important role in pathogen sensing and control and provides a remedy to the emerging agricultural challenges. Profound research studies, regarding the possible aspects of nanotechnology in plant pathology, is being carried out for exploring an economic, eco-friendly stabilized nanomaterials for effective management of plant diseases in the long run.

“…Because of their larger surface-to-volume ratio and their crystalline structure, they more effectively trigger biological responses compared to the traditional ionic form of the metals. [29][30][31] Although, in some studies, MNPs proved to be less toxic to mammalian cells than their corresponding ionic forms and to have a prolonged effect as a source of elements in an organism, alongside reduced risk for the environment and non-target organisms, their possible use in large amounts for agricultural purposes is still an open debate. Production costs and regulatory obstacles are also issues that must be resolved.…”

Natural compounds and living organisms continue to play a limited role in crop protection, and few of them have reached the market, despite their attractiveness and the efforts made in research. Very often these products have negative characteristics compared to synthetic compounds, e.g., higher costs of production, lower effectiveness, lack of persistence, and inability to reach and penetrate the target plant. Conversely, nanotechnologies are having an enormous impact on all human activities, including agriculture, even if the production of some nanomaterials is not environmentally friendly or could have adverse effects on agriculture and the environment. Thus, certain nanomaterials could facilitate the development of formulated natural pesticides, making them more effective and more environmentally friendly. Nanoformulations can improve efficacy, reduce effective doses, and increase shelf‐life and persistence. Such controlled‐release products can improve delivery to the target pest. This review considers certain available nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for use in agriculture, discussing their properties and the feasibility of their use in sustainable crop protection, in particular, in improving the effectiveness of natural bio‐based agrochemicals. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
