Advances in Biopolymeric Nanopesticides: A New Eco-Friendly/Eco-Protective Perspective in Precision Agriculture

Ravinder Kumar et al.

Summary: Pesticides are crucial in modern agriculture for protecting plants, but overuse leads to pesticide resistance. Nanotechnology offers a potential solution through biopolymer-based nanoformulations, which have advantages such as reduced toxicity and improved solubility. These nanoformulations are also environmentally friendly and support plant growth. This review provides an analysis of the toxicity and release behavior of biopolymeric nanopesticides for targeted delivery.

Chitosan-cellulose nanoencapsulation systems for enhancing the insecticidal activity of citronella essential oil against the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis

Samar S. Ibrahim et al.

Summary: Essential oils of plant origin can be a green and effective alternative to synthetic insecticides. In this study, chitosan nanoparticles and cellulose nanofibers were used to control the release of citronella essential oil for pest control. The results showed that these nanoencapsulation systems could effectively control the release of the essential oil and improve its insecticidal effect.

Biological Activity of Phytochemicals from Agricultural Wastes and Weeds on Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Analleli Jimenez-Duran et al.

Summary: Spodoptera frugiperda is a polyphagous insect pest native to America, currently threatening agricultural crops in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The ethanolic extracts of Cedrela odorata and Piper auritum have shown high insecticidal activity, potentially serving as botanical insecticides. The exposure of S. frugiperda larvae to low concentrations of Piper auritum extract resulted in reduced fertility in emerging adults.

Novel Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Orange Waste and Its Thermal and Antibacterial Activity

A. A. Menazea et al.

Summary: In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared using orange peels were investigated for antibacterial activity against various bacteria. The results showed that nanoparticles prepared using chemical methods were larger in size and exhibited higher thermal stability compared to those prepared using green synthesis methods. The antibacterial effect of the nanoparticles differed slightly at lower concentrations, but showed comparable results at higher concentrations, depending on the type of bacteria tested.
