Abstract:
Pesticides have become an essential component of Indian agriculture. Increasing concentrations of these chemicals per hectare have led to many environmental and health risks. Nanotechnology, a new era of science, has led to the invention of nanopesticides, which have both advantages and disadvantages. Many formulations, such as nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, nanoencapsulated and nanoparticles, have been produced by the research community. The chemicals' smaller size allows them to more effectively diffuse across the insect's and host's surfaces, providing a better effect than conventional pesticides. Nanopesticide significantly reduces the dose of chemical pesticides and hence is a promising scientific development that offers many benefits, including increased efficacy, durability, and reduced amount of active ingredient (AI) used to protect crops from diseases, insects, and weeds.
