Plant pathologists are striving to develop a successful solution for protecting food and agricultural products from bacteria, fungal and viral agents. New technology such as nanoscale platforms, biological sensors, miniature detection devices and nano sensors could play a significant role in the future pathogen detection and disease management. Nano grower-friendly methods need to be integrated into present practices, and be readily useable for protecting crops and avoiding crop loss to pests and disease.
