Abstract
Plants have long been the primary source of nutrition on the planet. Modern agriculture focuses on food production and protection in order to enhance food quality and quantity. Microbes and plant-based metallic nanoparticles have recently been utilized to protect various crops from illnesses and pest insects. The manufacture of nanoparticles utilizing microorganisms and plant extract is the subject of this review. Nanoparticles have a wide range of uses in agriculture, including the control of phytopathogens. They are simple to use, cost less, and are environmentally beneficial. We've gone through the various methods for synthesizing nanoparticles, as well as their uses in agriculture. Apart from the positive results, the negative effects on human and animal health were also extensively examined in order to better understand future agricultural issues.
