Plant Fungal Disease Management Using Nanobiotechnology as a Tool

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances and Applications Through Fungal Nanobiotechnology

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Fungal diseases cause significant economic agricultural losses around the world and their control have been limited to chemical fungicide in an irrational manner. The majority of the fungal pathogenic species belongs to the Ascomycetes (genera: Alternaria, Fusarium, Verticillium) and Basidiomycetes (genera: Sclerotium, Rhizoctonia). Nanobiotechnology as a novel tool could improve actual delivering techniques to management common plant fungal diseases; for example, using chemicals nanoparticles to tag specific sites at the cellular levels. Nowadays, applications of nanoparticles that provide better efficacy for the control of plant diseases are nanoforms of carbon, silver, silica, alumino-silicates and chitosan. To understand the possible benefits of employing nanobiotechnology to agriculture, it is necessary to analyze the penetration and transport of nanoparticles in plants. Some of the current advances, challenges and potential of nanobiotechnology in fungal diseases management are discussed in this chapter.
