Future Prospect in Nano Technology for Herbicides Production

Abstract

Since frequent application of herbicide to foliar of the targeted plants proves inefficient in weed control a quick revert to method of weed control with a great potential to control weeds that are hard to be controlled, reduce herbicide phytotoxity and effectively control weeds with 10-fold lower dose and less or no trace of environmental pollution and harms to grown crops should be encouraged. Such qualities have been discovered in Nanotechnology.  This technique, as a science, is effective in the production of slow release Nano encapsulated pre-emergence herbicides, which aid in weed control for an extended period of time with no negative environmental consequences. Nano-herbicides have the potential to address perennial weed management issues as well as the exhaustion of weed seed banks. The purpose of this review is to address the feasibility of generating nanoencapsulated herbicides for effective weed control, the idea of using nanotechnology into weed seed science, the possibility of using nanoparticles for herbicide resistance testing, and Nano-Harvest weed seed control (nHWSC).
