KEYWORDS
TOPICS
ABSTRACT
The use of insecticides remains one of the primary methods for controlling species harmful
to crops. However, insecticides used for pest control pose hazards to human health
and cause environmental damage. Nanotechnology has been used in the agriculture sector
to address these problems and increase crop yield. Numerous formulations with various
modes of action and applications have been developed, including solid-based nanopesticides,
controlled-release formulations, nanoemulsions and nanosuspensions. Nanopesticides
provide effective and environment friendly substitutes for controlling insect pests in
fields and storage. Nanoparticles can be used to target particular pests, thereby minimizing
off target impacts and increasing pest control effectiveness. Nanoformulations enhance the
stability and solubility of active ingredients, leading to better absorption and prolonged
action, and also allow for the slow and controlled release of pesticides. Recently, green nanotechnology-
based nanoparticles and nanoparticle-based RNA pesticides have been used
as a recent trend to control vegetable crop pests. This review presents information about
recently used nano formulations for vegetable crop pest management and their challenges.
