Harnessing the Potential of Nanobiopesticides with Plant Extracts: A Review

Abstract

Abstract This article aims to provide an overview of nanobiopesticides as a promising solution for sustainable and environmentally friendly pest control in agriculture. These formulations combine nanotechnology and biopesticides derived from plant extracts. The synthesis and characterization of plant extract-based pesticide nanoparticles are found to be more effective than using biopesticides alone. In this review, first, we examine the literature on the use of biopesticides, including both plant extract-based pesticides and biopesticides from microorganisms. Moreover, we review several studies on the combination of plant extract-based pesticides and biopesticides to enhance biopesticide efficacy. Finally, we discuss nanobiopesticides in supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture by utilizing biopesticides based on nanoparticles. Overall, this review highlights the promising prospects of plant extract-based nanobiopesticides and underscores their potential as effective and sustainable alternatives for pest management in modern agriculture.
