Abstract
The pesticide formulations in use these days have their own burdens on farming systems in terms of their accumulation in soil and ecosystems which can have serious effects on mankind and living organisms. With the help of nanotechnology, controlled release of agrochemicals, site targeted delivery of various macromolecules desired for improved plant disease resistance, enhanced plant growth and efficient nutrition utilization can be easily done. Nanoencapsulation has an advantage of safer handling and more efficient use of pesticides with less exposure to environment that guarantees ecoprotection. In plant entomology, nanotechnology targets specific agricultural problems in plant pests interaction and provide new ways for crop protection. The present investigation involves the delivery of imidacloprid (admire) pesticide in the form of nanoformulation to plants and investigation of their ultimate effects which can provide some insight for the safe use of this novel technology for the improvement of crop yield and safety.Entities:
