Plant pathogens massively affect crop productivity and are one of the significant challenges in attaining sustainable development goals related to agriculture, food production and addressing hunger issues. Conventional techniques of generic seasonal chemical spraying severely damage the environment and human health. On the contrary, nanomaterials-based biosensors have emerged as economical, efficient, selective, prompt and precise strategies for plant pathogen and disease diagnosis. The integration of nano-biosensors with artificial intelligence, internet-of-things, cloud computing, drones, and 5G communication has recently raised the paradigm of internet-of-nano-things inspired intelligent plant-diagnostic biosensors. This prospect highlights these modern-age plant-pathogenbiosensors for shaping smart and 5th-generation agricultural practice
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
