nanopesticides
Nanopesticides are pesticides that utilize nanotechnology, meaning they incorporate materials at the nanoscale (typically between 1 and 100 nanometers). These materials are engineered to enhance the delivery, efficacy, and safety of traditional pesticides. The nanoscale formulation can allow for controlled release of the active ingredient, reducing the amount of pesticide needed and minimizing environmental exposure.
The development of nanopesticides aims to address some of the limitations of conventional pesticide applications. For
Research into nanopesticides explores various nanoparticle types, including liposomes, nanoemulsions, and solid lipid nanoparticles, each offering
