Silver nanoparticles enhance chilli resistance against Colletotrichum capsici through dual antifungal and immunity‐inducing mechanisms

Conventional pesticides pollute the environment by contaminating water reservoirs with harmful residues. This study investigated the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to treat Colletotrichum capsici‐induced anthracnose disease in chilli plants. By leveraging the unique chemical and physical characteristics of AgNPs, we evaluated their antifungal efficacy and their roles in boosting plant immunity.
