Advancements in nanotechnology enabling development of efficient pest control formulationsOver the past decade or so, intensive research efforts from scientists and companies have helped unlock the potential of applying nanotechnology concepts for developing improved pesticides. Manufacturers have been able to leverage nano-engineering methods to encapsulate active ingredients within nanoparticles of varying sizes, surface properties, and structures. This allows for incorporating desirable characteristics like water-dispersion, photo-/thermo-responsiveness into the new formulations. Some key advancements include targeted foliar delivery using dendrimers, controlled-release mechanisms based on biodegradable polymers, and stimuli-responsive carriers for on-demand pesticide activation. Such customized fabrication at the nano-scale is making it possible to enhance the bioavailability, selectivity and effectiveness of active constituents. It is also laying the foundation for more specialized product categories like nano-fungicides, nano-insecticides, and nano-herbicides. The continuous progress in R&D as well as large private investments have boosted the potential for the commercialization of next-gen nanopesticide products with superior performance over conventional solutions. This is expected to be a major factor driving greater adoption globally.
