Carbon Nanotube Insect Repellents
Carbon nanotubes help in creating a new class of insect repellents with improved duration and efficacy, leading to better protection against pests.
Nano-clay Barriers
Nano-clay can be engineered into physical barriers that are highly effective at preventing pest infiltration, offering a non-toxic alternative to chemical controls.
Nanopesticides
Nanopesticides are nanoparticles designed to control pests. They offer targeted delivery, reducing the amount of chemicals used, which decreases environmental impact and increases effectiveness.
Nano-encapsulated Pheromones
Utilize nano-encapsulation to release sex pheromones for pest control, disrupting mating patterns and reducing pest populations without chemical insecticides.
Nano-silver Insecticides
Silver nanoparticles act as a potent antimicrobial and insecticide, controlling pests while minimizing damage to non-target organisms and the environment.
Nanofibers for Pest Trapping
Electrospun nanofibers can be used to trap pests physically, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides and providing an environmentally friendly control method.
Smart Nanosensors for Pests
Nanosensors detect pest presence and provide precise data for targeted pest control applications, reducing unnecessary pesticide use.
Nanoparticle Fertilizers with Pest Control
These fertilizers release nutrients and also provide protection against pests, combining the benefits of plant nutrition and pest management.
Magnetic Nanoparticles for Pest Control
Magnetic nanoparticles can be directed to pest-infested areas with magnets, ensuring a targeted application of pesticides, reducing waste and environmental contamination.
Nano-gels for Controlled Release
Nano-gels can encapsulate pesticides and release them in a controlled manner, providing long-term protection and reduced frequency of application.
Nanotech UV-protectant Films
These nanocomposite films protect crops from harmful UV radiation while deterring pests, serving a dual purpose of crop protection and pest control.
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Fungicides
Zinc oxide nanoparticles provide antifungal properties which can be used as a fungicide for crop protection, reducing the outbreak of plant diseases.
Nanoparticulate Biopesticides
Biopesticides based on nanoparticles can enhance the delivery and effectiveness of biological control agents, offering a more sustainable approach to pest management.
Nanocapsules with RNA Interference (RNAi)
Nanocapsules can deliver RNAi molecules that silence specific pest genes, offering a targeted approach to pest control without affecting other organisms.
Quantum Dot Sensing for Pest Detection
Quantum dots can be designed to fluoresce in the presence of certain pests, allowing early detection and targeted control measures.
