“…Recently, nanotechnology represents a new impetus for sustainable agriculture development (Zhao et al, 2018), and it has been receiving increasing interest in the pesticide sector with the development of a range of nanopesticides (Khot et al, 2012;Kah et al, 2013;Melanie, 2015), since nano-pesticide formulations may offer benefits like increasing solubility and bioavailability, reducing the amount of active ingredients used and the development of resistance, as well as providing ingredient protection against premature degradation (Sasson et al, 2007;Kah et al, 2013;Kah and Hofmann, 2014). Polymeric nanospheres and nano-capsules, together with nanogels and nanofibers, even more complex nano-formulations, have been developed for the delivery of pesticides, and primarily aimed at increasing solubility or slow and controlled release profile of the active ingredients serving as protective reservoirs (Anton et al, 2008;Ao et al, 2012;Bhagat et al, 2013;Memarizadeh et al, 2014;Sharma et al, 2017). Furthermore, several nanocarriers, such as nanocapsules (Shen et al, 2010), micelles (Dong et al, 2012) and hydrogels (Ha et al, 2013) can deliver two different drugs for combination therapy.…”
