Nanoparticulate Formulations for Pesticide Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Targeted Delivery of Pesticides Using Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSMOLECULAR))

Abstract

The following sections give details of the nanoparticulate formulation developed by various researchers. The innovative technology to formulate the nanoparticle is briefly discussed along the entrapment strategies. Few biological models for testing the efficacy of these developed formulations on insect model have also been included.
