Abstract

Fungal diseases pose a significant threat to wheat production globally, impacting both yield and quality. In recent years, the use of nanoparticles has gained attraction as a potential method for controlling fungal diseases in wheat. This review paper aims to comprehensively examine the utilization of nanoparticles in managing fungal diseases, particularly focusing on wheat crops. The paper explores the mechanisms of action, effectiveness, potential environmental impacts, and prospects of nanoparticle-based treatments for fungal disease control in wheat.
