Silica nanoparticles as pesticide against insects of different feeding types and their non-target attraction of predators

Ahmed F. Thabet et al.

Summary: The study found that silica NPs can reduce the populations of three insect pests and their associated predators on field-cultivated faba bean and soybean, although in soybean fields, the number of predators initially increased after applying the lowest concentration. Additionally, it was discovered that silica NPs can enhance the attraction of natural enemies towards herbivore-infested plants via herbivore-induced plant volatiles.
