Nanoparticles have been known to have strong anti-microbial properties and therefore, these days, they are being used to control plant pathogenic diseases efficiently. In this context present study, we have assessed the effect of three different nanoparticles, i.e., AgNPs, CuONPs and MgONPs of different concentrations like 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm against the growth of against Rhizoctonia solani under in vitro conditions. Findings reveal that all the three nanoparticles showed inhibitory effects on mycelial growth and sclerotium production. However, increasing the dose of such nanoparticles shows more inhibition on mycelial growth along with sclerotium production as well. Hence, it is concluded that for controlling the plant disease by using nanoparticles is one of the eco-friendly approaches as compared to using the expensive chemicals
