Synthesis and Applications of Nanofungicides: A Next-Generation Fungicide

Abstract

With the increasing population, the pressure of enhancing food production and management of fungal diseases of food crops and fruits in agriculture sector needs urgent concern. Nanofungicides due to their vast physiochemical and functionalization properties could be easily applied for plant disease management. This chapter covers the different types of nanofungicide synthesis with mechanism. The chapter also gives comprehensive idea about fungal mycotoxins and its harmful effects on agricultural sector. Apart from it, this chapter also highlights the effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on mycotoxins produced by fungi and its mechanism of action.
