Application of nanotechnology in crop pest management- A review

Authors

Abstract

For materials with a size range of 1–100 nm, the term “nano” is typically employed. Still, given their smaller size, it is also typical for these materials to exhibit distinct characteristics from bulk materials. In this book, the traditional methods of managing insect pests were discussed, along with the prospective applications of nanomaterials as cutting-edge nanoscience and nanotechnology techniques. Increased efficacy, durability, and a reduction in the quantity of active chemicals needed are just a few benefits that nanopesticide solutions may offer. There are several formulation forms that have been suggested, such as nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, and goods that incorporate flawlessly produced nanoparticles such as metals, metal oxides, and nanoclays. Nanotechnological deliverables such as nanomaterials, encapsulated nanoscale plant production and protection inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, plant growth regulators, and other formulations using surfactants, polymers, dendrimers, surface ionic attachments, and other related mechanisms can be used to achieve controlled release of agricultural and horticultural inputs.. The use of nanoparticles offers the potential to transform the green revolution into an evergreen revolution and to effectively manage agricultural pests.
