Abstract:
Nanotechnology is an important study of multi-research and technology. It creates a large utility in many fields viz. agrochemical including insecticides, acaricides, fungicides etc; pharmaceuticals, electronics and agriculture. The utility and beneficial activity of nanotechnology is many. These may be integrated control of pests through the use of nano-material based pesticides. Integrated pest management (IPM) utilized in agri-Horti are not sufficient for pest control. The use of synthetic pesticides has adverse function on living beings, including human health. It also has a bad effect on soil property. So, nanotechnology may render green and effective alternatives for control of pests in agri-horty without any harmful effect on earth. This system may be focused on nano-materials in pest control as recent applications of nano-technology. The benefits in science and technology in the last few years were made in many areas of pesticide usage. It comprises the development of more efficient and non-persistent agro-chemicals and a new path of application that comprises controlled release formulation (CRF). The benefits may be directed towards the successful application of these formulations on crops. It is helpful for the reduction of environmental pollution. In that line, new types of chemicals are developed. Nanomaterials should be evaluated, so that this high technology does not meet the same apprehensions and bottle-neck as faced by GM (genetically modified) crops.
