Abstract

The cover image depicts a wilted tree with (bottom) and without (top) nanoferrite coating. The tree with the coating revives, while the leaves shred off without the coating. The image highlights the need to develop nanomaterial‐based fungicides to protect plants, addressing a global challenge of saving plant life. Further details can be found in article number 1700041 by Parul Sharma, Adikshita Sharma, Monica Sharma, Nikhil Bhalla,* Pedro Estrela, Aditya Jain, Preeti Thakur, and Atul Thakur*.
