TL;DR: Biological silver nanoparticle was synthesized extracellularly by using the fungus, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, where the cell filtrate of the fungus was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the process of nanoparticle synthesis, leading to significant reductions in the number of forming colonies for many plant pathogenic fungi.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effect of different levels (0.0, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L) of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on Vicia faba during seed germination and seedling establishment showed that higher concentrations resulted in phytotoxicity, while lower concentrations enhanced seed Germination and improved seedling growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silver nanoparticles (20-30 nm) against rice leaf blast fungus was evaluated under different cultivation conditions both in vitro and in vivo, and the results showed that the application of four concentrations of Silver nanoparticles to the culture of Magnaporthe grisea showed significant inhibition of both hyphal growth and number of colonies formed in a dose-dependent manner.

TL;DR: F foliar application of SiNPs after disease symptoms appearance significantly reduced the disease incidence and increased grain yield and the current results suggested that controlling F. fujikuroi once appearing of bakanae disease symptoms considered a new effective management practices.

TL;DR: It is recommended to consider Silver nanoparticles in further studies for possible controlling of seed-borne pathogens putting in mind its possible accumulation in the crop products and the consecutive in food chain.
