Agricultural Fungicides Virucide

Nano-fungicides are expected to play an important role in future plant disease management as eco-friendly alternatives of conventional synthetic fungicides.Silver has long been known to show antibacterial activity but it was only the development of the nanotechnology which allowed to create substances and materials of the new generation. Preparations with embedded silver nanoparticles exhibit even stronger biocidal effects against a wide spectrum of harmful microorganisms, i.e. bacteria, fungi and viruses. Multidirectional activity of nanosilver compromises the induction of microbial defensive mechanisms and stops the development of bacterial resistance.
