Can Nanotechnology Help in Overcoming Insecticide Resistance?
Yes, nanotechnology can play a crucial role in overcoming insecticide resistance. By delivering insecticides in a novel format, nanoparticles can bypass traditional resistance mechanisms. For instance, they can be designed to avoid detoxification pathways that resistant insects typically use. Moreover, the ability to co-deliver multiple active agents in a single nanoparticle can help in managing resistance by attacking pests via multiple mechanisms.
