Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The application of nano-materials in crop protection remains unexplored. But, nano-pesticides have the potential to play a key role in the management of pests and pathogens. A nano-encapsulated pesticide formulation contains slow-releasing properties with increased stability, permeability, solubility and specificity. The development of eco-friendly nano-formulations with efficient delivery system and small quantities of nano-pesticides will be in great demand in the future. This will also facilitate production of massive quality products efficiently. Certain corporate sector companies are already marketing microencapsulated pesticides as nano-scale emulsions. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020. All rights reserved.
