Foreword
One of the growing interest areas of nanotechnology applications is the development of novel formulations of pesticides that are more efficient, targeted, and release controlled. Such features may not only bring about cost savings but may also lower the overall use of pesticides and thus contribute towards reducing the negative impacts
