Nano Pesticides: Advances, Applications, And Environmental Implications

Abstract

The development of nano pesticides represents a paradigm shift in agricultural practices by providing targeted pest management with reduced environmental impact. This review synthesizes recent advances in nano pesticide design, formulation, and delivery mechanisms, with an emphasis on efficacy, environmental safety, and regulatory challenges. We discuss the physicochemical properties that underpin nano pesticide behavior, their interaction with biological systems, and the implications for integrated pest management. The paper also highlights the need for further research to address potential risks associated with nano-enabled formulations and provides recommendations for future studies
