Fig. 2From: Nanomaterials and nanotechnology for the delivery of agrochemicals: strategies towards sustainable agricultureNanomaterials loaded with pesticides. NMs loaded with pesticides can reduce the degradation of AIs caused by environmental influences, achieve target-controlled release of AIs by the properties of nanomaterials, thus prolonging the shelf life of pesticides; Some NMs have their own insecticidal and fungicidal activities; When applied to soil, NMs help pesticides to be fixed in the soil for plant root absorption in order to reduce the loss of pesticides by leachingBack to article page
