How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Pesticide Efficiency?
Traditional pesticides often suffer from poor bioavailability, leading to excessive application and environmental contamination. Nanotechnology addresses this through the development of nanoformulations which improve the solubility, stability, and controlled release of active ingredients. For instance, nanocapsules and nanoparticles can encapsulate pesticides, allowing for a slow and targeted release, thus reducing the amount of chemicals needed and minimizing the impact on non-target organisms.
