In agriculture, nanotechnology involves the use of nanoparticle in insect pest management programmes. These nanoparticles can be used in agricultural practices to increase crop productivity while decreasing harmful effects on human health and the environment. When the particle size becomes too small, it can reach any large surface area, allowing a large volume of pesticide to come into contact with pests. Farmers prefer to use chemical pesticides on a large scale, which has a number of adverse effects on humans as well on the environment. The use of nanotechnology can provide an environmentally friendly alternative to insect pest management. Mainly, the focus is on using nanoparticles in integrated pest management as nanoemulsions, nanopesticides, nanosuspensions and controlled release formulations (CRF). This review summarizes modern approaches to nanotechnology that involve integrated pest management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
