Eco-Friendly Herbicide Delivery Using Biodegradable Nanoparticles ACS_AMI
By Hussain AhmedSep 21 2022Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. Herbicides are chemicals used to manage or control unwanted plants. However, their poor utilization efficiency negatively influences the ecosystem and human welfare. Polymer-related herbicide delivery systems can be an effective solution to resolve this problem.
However, herbicide usage has a detrimental influence on both the climate and human health. The major cause of herbicide cytotoxicity is their poor utilization efficiency caused by leaching, disintegration, and evaporation. Controlled-release herbicide delivery systems, capable of dispensing herbicides on demand and prolonging their application period, have gained significant attention in the last decade. Polymers, inorganic chemicals, and nanoparticles, among other materials, can be employed as herbicide carriers in these innovative herbicide delivery systems.
In terms of ecological preservation and conservation, biodegradability is an important factor in ascertaining the suitability of materials for herbicide delivery applications. Linear polyesters have enormous potential in pharmacological and biochemical applications because of their outstanding chemical stability and cytocompatibility.
