Abstract

The scientists’ attention concentrated on developing the materials for addition and desirable properties especially in nano-level because the materials allow improving their properties significantly. Nanostructured materials are involved in all fields of science with great applications in Agriculture. Among the widely used of these different types of nanoparticles in investigations to control a lot of fungal plant pathogens, there are different methods to prepare each type, also many methods and techniques followed to evaluate it as control agents against some plant pathogens. Also engineering of nanoparticles is the backbone of nanotechnology with very fast development and growing. This chapter focused on the methodology of nanoparticles preparation and its evaluation as pesticides in plant pathology researches
