Effect of bio nano silver particles on plant pathogens

Nanoscience to develop low-cost applications of nanotechnology have led to increased plant growth. Human use of silver dates back more than 5,000 years ago. The effect of nano silver particles in inhibition of the growth of fungi and bacteria was proved. In this study, effect of nano silver particles on plant pathogens and their action mechanisms was studied. Nano technology has provided new solutions for treatment of plants in plant- pathogen interaction. Successful use of silver nanoparticles as anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents, leads its application in controlling plant pathogens.
