Nanoparticles as alternatives of pesticides in management of plants diseases and their limitations
Keywords:
nanopesticides, engineered nano-materials, insectisides, pesticidesAbstract
This paper reviews the use of nanoparticles as nano-pesticides and have discussed the challenges to be solved before using these pesticides. Nanotechnology is a developing field that can ameliorate the growth of plants, particles have a characteristic size that is between 1nm to 100nm. Conventional pesticides have innumerable disadvantages for example Inadequate delivery of pesticides, the genesis of pollutants, etc. These pesticides need significant input sources of energy and water which is mainly the reason scientists are searching for eco-friendly and more efficient pesticides. Researchers/scientists worked on different metals such as silver, zinc, silica, and ENMs (Engineered Nano-materials) so that these can be used as bio-pesticides. These nanoscopic metals have the potential to enhance the growth and yield of crops. They are “green’’ alternatives used in place of traditional pest controls. Currently, there is no optimal knowledge about this nanoscopic matter therefore a better understanding of adverse impacts and their interactions need to be improved before their extensive use in plant production.
