In the current paper, we reviewed the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in crop protection,
emphasizing the control of pests in the agricultural and urban environment. At the same …

The unscientific application of pesticides can easily cause a series of ecological
environmental safety issues, which seriously restrict the sustainable development of modern …

Nanoparticles are generally defined as structures with dimensions of less than 100 nm. They
usually differ by their fundamental properties from that of the bulk material, especially in …

The need to protect plants against environmental challenges, abiotic and biotic, leads to the
application of nanomaterials and pesticides in the environment. Recently, nanopesticides …

Each year, 20%–40% of crops are lost due to plant pests and pathogens. Existing plant
disease management relies predominantly on toxic pesticides that are potentially harmful to …

Globally, between one quarter and one-third of total grains produced each year are lost
during storage mainly through infestation of insect pests. Among the available control …

Pests, including insects, mites, nematodes and pathogens, are the major limiting factor in
profitable crop production. Frequent application of pesticides has resulted in development of …

Nanopesticides are nanostructures with two to three dimensions between 1 to 200 nm, used
to carry agrochemical ingredients (AcI). Because of their unique properties, the loading of …

Natural compounds and living organisms continue to play a limited role in crop protection,
and few of them have reached the market, despite their attractiveness and the efforts made …

Increasing global population demands modernization in agricultural production to achieve
