In current agricultural practices, the control of pests is often accomplished by means excessive use agrochemicals, which can result in environmental pollution and development resistant pests. A major challenge agriculture to increase food production meet needs growing world population, without damaging environment. this context, biopesticides offer a better alternative synthetic pesticides, enabling safer pest populations. However, limitations biopesticides, including short shelf life,...
Abstract Carbendazim (MBC) (methyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate) and tebuconazole (TBZ) ((RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)pentan-3-ol) are widely used in agriculture for the prevention control of fungal diseases. Solid lipid nanoparticles polymeric nanocapsules carrier systems that offer advantages including changes release profiles bioactive compounds their transfer to site action, reduced losses due leaching or degradation decreased toxicity environment...
Botanical repellents represent one of the main ways reducing use synthetic pesticides and contamination soil hydric resources. However, poor stability rapid degradation these compounds in environment hinder their effective application field. Zein nanoparticles can be used as eco-friendly carrier systems to protect substances against premature degradation, provide desirable release characteristics, reduce toxicity humans. In this study, we describe preparation characterization zein loaded...
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing the herbicides atrazine and simazine were prepared characterized, in vitro evaluation was made of release kinetics, herbicidal activity, cytotoxicity. The stability investigated over a period 120 days, via analyses particle size, ζ potential, polydispersion, pH, encapsulation efficiency. SLN showed good physicochemical high efficiencies. Release kinetics tests that use modified profiles water. Herbicidal activity assays performed with pre-...
Pesticides are the main tactics for pest control because they reduce population very fast and their efficiency does not depend on abiotic factors. However, indiscriminate use of these substances can speed up development resistant populations causing environmental contamination. Therefore, alternative methods sought, such as botanical compounds. Nanoencapsulation volatile compounds has been shown to be an important tool that used overcome lack stability In this work, we describe preparation...
Atrazine is one of the most used herbicides and has been associated with persistent surface groundwater contamination, novel formulations derived from nanotechnology can be a potential solution. We poly(ε-caprolactone) nanoencapsulation atrazine (NC+ATZ) to develop highly effective herbicidal formulation. Detailed structural study interaction between formulation Brassica juncea plants was carried out evaluation foliar uptake nanoatrazine alterations induced in leaves. Following postemergent...
The nanoencapsulation of botanical compounds (such as geraniol) is an important strategy that can be used to increase the stability and efficiency these substances in integrated pest management. In this study, chitosan/gum arabic nanoparticles containing geraniol were prepared characterized. addition, evaluation was made biological activity encapsulated toward whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). optimized formulation showed a high encapsulation (>90%) remained stable for about 120 days. protected...
Abstract Aquaculture is increasingly important in global food production. Consequently, the control of diseases aquaculture essential, due to potential environmental impacts, notably terms states health freshwater bodies and oceans. In this study, we review possible uses different management systems, highlighting essential oils novel nanotechnological strategies, for aquaculture.
Carvacrol and linalool are natural compounds extracted from plants known for their insecticidal repellent activities, respectively. However, low aqueous solubility, high photosensitivity, volatility restrict application in the control of agricultural pests. The encapsulation volatile can be an effective way overcoming such problems. Inclusion complexes between beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) carvacrol (CVC) or (LNL) were investigated. prepared by kneading method. Both presented 1:1 host:guest...
Poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) nanocapsules have been previously developed as a carrier system for atrazine. However, the efficacy of this nanoformulation against weeds commonly found in crop cultures has not tested yet. Here, we evaluated post-emergence herbicidal activity PCL containing atrazine Amaranthus viridis (slender amaranth) and Bidens pilosa (hairy beggarticks), comparison with commercial formulation For both species, treatment atrazine-loaded (at 2000 g ha-1) led to greater decrease...
To address the escalating global demand for food production, it is imperative to minimize agricultural losses caused by pests, accounting up 40% of substantial worldwide 70 billion USD. While conventional pesticides raise environmental concerns, environmentally friendly alternatives like curcumin and carvacrol face low biological activity due their solubility premature degradation in conditions, that is, can occur solar radiation, high temperature, etc., before active ingredients exert its...
