“…Nejad et al [34] applied green‐synthesised AgNPs to interact with R. solani and the highest inhibition levels against sclerotia formation and mycelia growth were 92 and 85%, respectively, at a concentration of 50 ppm. Swamy and Nargund [35] measured the antifungal effect of AgNPs against Curvularia lunata , and it was found that more than 95% of spores were inhibited at the tested concentration.…”

In the present study, was used to synthesise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Several parameters that influence the synthesis of AgNPs such as fungus age, the concentration of Ag nitrate (AgNO), and incubation time were explored to find the optimum synthesis condition. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of AgNPs against was determined by measuring inhibition zone diameter, colony formation, and conidia germination. The optimal biosynthesis system included fungus age of 7 days, 8 mM AgNO, and an incubation time of 120 h. Under these conditions, synthesised NPs were near round, and the average particle size was about 21 nm. At the experiment, the diameter of the inhibition zone reached a maximum of 8 mM AgNO and 72 h. In addition, the inhibition rate of colony and conidia reached 83.39 and 100%, respectively, with 200 μg/ml AgNPs. The results offer a novel pathway for phytopathogen control and make it likely to develop new eco-friendly antimicrobial.

Due to rapidly changing environmental conditions, virulent pathogens have arisen continuously that invades the crops and badly affects their yield and quality of the cash crops which results in economic losses. To overcome the prevalent infection of fungal pathogens, there is an utmost need to develop alternative techniques that avoid conventional agriculture practices. The use of various chemical fungicides is not an environmentally sustainable solution to fungal diseases because it produces environmental contamination and is dangerous for human health. Nanotechnology provides solutions to disease control issues in a significant way. The scientific and industrial systems are being changed by this development. Similarly, nano-based instruments are highly promising in the agriculture sector, particularly for the production of powerful formulations that require appropriate distribution of agrochemicals, nutrients, pesticides/insecticides, and even growth regulators for improved efficiency of use. Nanotechnology provides an inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and alternative effective monitoring of agricultural fungal pathogens. Green nanotechnology is an innovative methodology that revolutionized the field of agriculture to solve these problems. Despite increasing plant growth, nanoparticles meet the agriculture demand for high yield. This study mainly focuses on the promise of various methods for the treatment of fungal diseases through nanoparticles.

“…Krishnaraj et al (2012) [87] used leaf extract of Acalypha indica for rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles and reported their antifungal activity at a concentration of 15 mg against several phytopathogenic fungi such as Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Macrophomina phaseolina, and Curvularia lunata. Another experiment was conducted to synthesize Ag NPs by mixing AgNO 3 at concentration of 1 mM with seeds extract of Thevetia peruviana at a concentration of 10% and reported their antifungal effectiveness against Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, which causes leaf spot disease in maize [88].…”

Recent research demonstrates that the number of virulent phytopathogenic fungi continually grows, which leads to significant economic losses worldwide. Various procedures are currently available for the rapid detection and control of phytopathogenic fungi. Since 1940, chemical and synthetic fungicides were typically used to control phytopathogenic fungi. However, the substantial increase in development of fungal resistance to these fungicides in addition to negative effects caused by synthetic fungicides on the health of animals, human beings, and the environment results in the exploration of various new approaches and green strategies of fungal control by scientists from all over the world. In this review, the development of new approaches for controlling fungal diseases in plants is discussed. We argue that an effort should be made to bring these recent technologies to the farmer level.
