Why is it important?
Could serve as a base study for the development of herbicide formulation that possess excellent efficacy and less negative impact on the environment.
Perspectives
The development of molecularly encapsulated drugs and pesticides is receiving increased attention. It helps produce materials that serve the farmers to increase the productivity of their crops without affecting the environment. The concept of controlled release could be a step toward the safe use of pesticides.
