Application of MtNPs as nanopesticides: a MtNPs act as nanopesticides targeting a wide range of pests and phytopathogenic agents and as a carrier for pesticides to provide crop protection, b Mechanisms of action of MtNPs as nanofungicides. MtNPs act on the fungus cell wall, leading to membrane damage. Disruption of the membrane by MtNPs causes pore formation. After internalization, MtNPs target main cellular organs such as the nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria, causing cell death
