Manufacturing of Slow- and Controlled-Release Pesticides

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controlled Release of Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

To ensuring the food safety, pesticides are used as the fundamental material against the major biological disasters. In recent years, pesticides have obtained enormous attention in the field of agriculture and food industry. Therefore to overcome the limitations of using traditional pesticide formulation, a new facile and innovative method of pesticide formulation has been addressed. This approach designs an intelligent smart process like ‘slow and controlled release of pesticides’. This concept may be greatly improving the use of pesticides by reducing waste and pollution. In this chapter, a brief description about pesticides, raw materials, manufacturing methods of slow and controlled release of pesticides and preparation methods of pesticide microcapsule like nanopesticides is discussed. This novel and intelligent slow- and controlled-release technology could enhance the target ability and improve the dispersibility and stability of active ingredients, pesticide loading and environmental viability.
