Fungal diseases represent a significant threat to global agriculture, leading substantial crop losses and endangering food security worldwide. Conventional chemical fungicides, while effective, are increasingly criticized for their detrimental environmental impacts, including soil degradation, water contamination, the disruption of non-target organisms. Additionally, overuse these fungicides has accelerated emergence resistant fungal strains, further challenging disease management strategies. In response issues, bio-nanofungicides nano-biofungicides have emerged as cutting-edge solution, combining biocompatibility, safety, enhanced efficacy. These advanced formulations integrate bio-based agents, such microbial metabolites or plant extracts, with nanotechnology improve stability, controlled release, targeted delivery. Chitosan, silica, silver nanoparticles were extensively studied ability encapsulate bioactive compounds because outstanding antifungal activity, minimizing residues. Recent studies demonstrated potential nano-based address critical gaps in sustainable promising applications integrated pest systems. Here, we summarize last advances development analyze main differences between them. addition, challenges large-scale production, regulatory approval, comprehensive risk assessments discussed.
