Exploitation of functionalized green nanomaterials for plant disease management.

A crucial determining factor in agricultural productivity is biotic stress. In addition, supply of quality food to the ever-increasing world's population has raised the food demand tremendously. Therefore, enhanced agricultural crop productivity is the only option to mitigate these concerns.

Chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs): A versatile growth promoter in modern agricultural production.

Agriculture is a backbone of global economy and most of the population relies on this sector for their livelihood. Chitosan as a biodegradable material thus can be explored for in various fields in its nano form to replace non-biodegradable and toxic compounds. The chitosan has appealing properties like biocompatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, and low allergenic, making it useful in several applications including in agriculture sector.
