New perception about the use of nanofungicides in sustainable agriculture practices

Rajiv Periakaruppan et al. Arch Microbiol. .

Abstract

Protecting plants from pathogens using synthetic nanofungicides is not very effective, because it is harmful to the environment. However, it is synthetic fungicides that farmers are familiar with and commonly use. In this modern era, nanotechnology offers a smart solution to environmental issues at the nanoscale level. It is an emergent field and nanoparticles can be synthesized through various methods. Nanofungicides are efficient due to their solubility and permeability, low dose-dependent toxicity, low dose, enhanced bioavailability, targeted delivery, enhanced bioavailability, and controlled release. There are many metallic compounds, such as Cu, Zn, Ag, and TiO2 available which are used as nanofungicides. There is a contrary relationship between the size of the nanoparticles and their efficacy and antifungal potential. This review article offers a wide knowledge about formulation of nanomaterials as nanofungicides and their role in disease management in plants.

Keywords: Bioavailability; Nanoformulations; Nanofungicides.
