Soil-borne fungal pathogens pose significant challenges to crop production worldwide, leading to substantial crop losses and economic damage. Traditional methods of control, such as chemical fungicides, are often inadequate, environmentally harmful and result in the emergence of resistance in pathogens. In recent years, nanoparticles have emerged as promising alternatives for controlling soil-borne fungal pathogens due to their unique physicochemical properties and potential for targeted delivery. Various types of nanoparticles, including metallic nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, and composite nanoparticles, have demonstrated antifungal activity against soil-borne fungal pathogens. Nanoparticles exert their antifungal effects through multiple mechanisms, including breakdown of cell membranes, reactive oxygen species production, and interference with fungal cell signaling pathways. Additionally, nanoparticles can enhance the efficacy of conventional fungicides through synergistic interactions. Overall, the utilization of nanoparticles holds great promise for sustainable and effective control of soil-borne fungal pathogens, offering potential solutions to mitigate crop losses and improve agricultural productivity. Further research is warranted to optimize nanoparticle formulations, assess their environmental impact, and evaluate their efficacy under field conditions.
