The increasing global population, coupled with rising demands from the agricultural sector amid limited resources, has spurred extensive research aimed at enhancing both the quality and yield of crops. One of the primary challenges in plant management is the presence of phytopathogens, leading to crop losses, reduced yield quality and quantity, and ultimately elevated production costs with broader economic implications. Traditional methods of biocontrol in plant disease management often involve the use of chemical substances, which, unfortunately, bring about undesirable consequences such as non-targeted effects, residue accumulation, soil and water contamination, ecological imbalances, heightened phytotoxicity, and other long-term impacts. As a response to these challenges, there has been a surge in exploring the applications of engineered nanomaterials in agriculture and plant disease management, particularly focusing on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) due to their unique physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. The efficacy of AgNP in combating plant diseases is supported by various studies, employing characterization techniques like TEM, SEM, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, which unveil their mode of action and cellular interactions. Additionally, extensive field research provides insights into the influence of AgNPs on plant growth, health, and disease management. The findings collectively suggest that AgNPs represent an innovative tool in precision plant disease management. While concerns exist about the phytotoxic effects of conventionally synthesized chemically derived AgNPs, the green-synthesized AgNPs offer sustainable approaches with minimized ecological impacts. Thus, they emerge as a promising, potential, and sustainable nano-weapon in the realm of plant disease management.
