| Abstract | ||||
| Crop plants are prone to infection by several pathogens which cause diseases that affect the production and economy of these crops. Farmers tend to use traditional control methods such as; chemical pesticides and bioagents which are non-ecofriendly and not easily produced/ applied, respectively. Nanoparticles (NPs) have sizes less than 100 nm and are considered for several applications including; agriculture, food technology, pharmaceuticals in addition to protection of environment (Chakravarty et al., 2015). Availability, low-cost and non-phytotoxicity of NPs are the main prerequisites for their application in the field of agriculture. | ||||
