“…Fungal nanotechnology is one of the most popular options because of the vast range of benefits it has over bacteria, actinomycetes, plants, and other organisms in terms of physicochemical qualities [40]. When it comes to the biological generation of NPs, fungi outperform the majority of microorganisms in terms of efficiency.…”

Traditional nanoparticle (NP) synthesis methods are expensive and generate hazardous products. It is essential to limit the risk of toxicity in the environment from the chemicals as high temperature and pressure is employed in chemical and physical procedures. One of the green strategies used for sustainable manufacturing is microbial nanoparticle synthesis, which connects microbiology with nanotechnology. Employing biocontrol agents Trichoderma and Hypocrea (Teleomorphs), an ecofriendly and rapid technique of nanoparticle biosynthesis has been reported in several studies which may potentially overcome the constraints of the chemical and physical methods of nanoparticle biosynthesis. The emphasis of this review is on the mycosynthesis of several metal nanoparticles from Trichoderma species for use in agri-food applications. The fungal-cell or cell-extract-derived NPs (mycogenic NPs) can be applied as nanofertilizers, nanofungicides, plant growth stimulators, nano-coatings, and so on. Further, Trichoderma-mediated NPs have also been utilized in environmental remediation approaches such as pollutant removal and the detection of pollutants, including heavy metals contaminants. The plausible benefits and pitfalls associated with the development of useful products and approaches to trichogenic NPs are also discussed.

Background: Plant elements such as carbohydrates, lipids, flavonoids, polyphenols, enzymes, terpenoids, and alkaloids are used as reducing substance in the green production of silver nanoparticles. The strategy proved to be highly straightforward, cost-effective, and practical. Materials and Methods: The synthesis of nanoparticles was validated using optical inspection, in which the yellow colour solution became brown. UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR analysis, and SEM were used to further characterise the material. Results: Transmission electron microscopy have shown that the silver nanoparticles size was between 10-46 nm (SEM). Size of silver nanoparticles was found to be between 10-46nm approximately as determined by transmission electron microscopy (SEM). Well diffusion method demonstrated the antifungal activity of AgNPs on Magnaporthe oryzae with the zone of inhibition of 5 and 11mm when 12.5 and 25μg/ ml of AgNPs was used respectively. Lowest inhibitory concentration was found to be 5.2. Conclusion: The leakage of reducing sugars and proteins was used to explore the mode of action of nanoparticles' antifungal activity, indicating that AgNPs were able to reduce membrane permeability.

“…In the eld of agriculture in particular, there are multiple applications of nanomaterials, such as in the manufacture, processing, storage, packaging and transportation of agricultural products (Baker et al, 2017;Mousavi and Rezaei, 2011). In production, nanomaterials offer ecological, e cient and modern alternatives that can be of great use for the management of phytopathogenic diseases due to this easy handling and production as bio-production tools (Abd-Elsalam, 2021;Aguilar-Méndez et al, 2011). Various nanomaterials have shown excellent antifungal activities; therefore they are considered as a good alternative to control phytopathogenic fungi (Alghuthaymi et al, 2021;Kalia et al, 2020;Kutawa et al, 2021;Shaikh et al, 2019).…”

Date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are the most important crop in New Valley Governorate, Egypt, with approximately two million trees and 60,000 tons of fruit. Date palms in Egyptian conditions are infected with various diseases caused by many soilborne pathogenic fungi, resulting in significant root rot of offshoots and trees. The most virulent fungus recorded in Egypt was Fusarium oxysporum, which caused date palm root rot, followed by F. moniliforme, F. solani, Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Botryodiplodia theobromae and Rhizoctonia solani. The survey, samples collected, disease incidence and severity percent of date palm root rot diseases were conducted in five districts (Kharga, Baris, Balat, Dakhla and Farafra) each with five sites in New Valley Governorate. The highest DI and DS percentages were 42.67 and 14.27% in Dakhla District, while the latest DI and DS percentages were 19.37 and 6.62% in Farafra District. Molecular identification of sixteen pathogenic fungal isolates (including eight fungi first detected on date palms in Egypt) was performed using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS). The highest pathogenic fungus was Fusarium oxysporum, the last was Marasmius palmivorus. CH-NP was most effective in vitro at 100 ppm, while SiO2 was least effective. The most effective nanoparticle treatment in the greenhouse was CH-NP, while the lowest treatment was ZnO before soil infestation. Although CH-NP was the most effective treatment after soil infestation, SiO2 was the least effective treatment. To our knowledge, this study is the first report of the association of eight new fungi with date palm root diseases in Egypt.
