Development of Plant-derived Nanopesticides

Plant-derived nanopesticides often employ nanocarriers, such as nanoparticles, nanocapsules, or nanogels, to enhance the stability, solubility, and controlled release of the active compounds. Plant-derived nano-insecticides represent a breakthrough approach to sustainable crop protection. By integrating nanotechnology and plant-derived active compounds, targeted pest control solutions are provided while minimizing environmental risks.

Lifeasible is dedicated to plant protection. We aim to provide comprehensive solutions for the development of new pesticides that are greener, safer, and more efficient. We play a crucial role in advancing biopesticide development.

Feature of plant-derived nanopesticides

Plant-derived nanopesticides exhibit potent insecticidal, fungicidal, and herbicidal properties. The targeted delivery of bioactive compounds ensures precise action against pests, minimizing off-target effects and reducing the need for frequent applications. Additionally, these formulations can effectively combat pesticide-resistant insects and pathogens, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional pesticides.

Some examples of plant-derived nanopesticides

• Neem nanoparticles. Neem derivatives are widely used in agriculture to control insects, nematodes, fungi, and bacteria. However, neem is rapidly inactive due to its sensitivity to temperature and light and its susceptibility to microbial degradation. Neem combined with a nanosystem protects it from degradation. Neem nanoparticles improve neem stability and water solubility under UV radiation. The mortality rate of chokeberry moths treated with neem nanoparticles was 100%.
• Nanoparticles of rotenone. Fisetinone is a plant-derived insecticide found in the roots or rhizomes of legume plants. The application of ichthyone in agriculture is limited by its easy degradation under UV light, high toxicity to fish, and low water solubility. Synthetic chitosan derivatives can encapsulate and control the release of rotenone. They can also be used to encapsulate natural pesticides insoluble in water.

What do we offer?

• Nanoparticle synthesis. Nanoparticles serve as carriers for plant-derived active ingredients. We utilize various methods, such as chemical precipitation, sol-gel synthesis, and microemulsion, to facilitate the production of nanoparticles with desired properties. These nanoparticles can encapsulate and protect plant-derived compounds, ensuring their stability and controlled release.
• Genetic engineering. Genetic engineering plays a crucial role in enhancing the production of bioactive compounds in plants. By manipulating plant genomes, we can increase the synthesis of target compounds, leading to higher yields and more potent formulations.
• Nanotoxicology and safety assessment. The development of plant-derived nanopesticides necessitates a rigorous evaluation of their safety and potential environmental impacts. We through assess the toxicity and biocompatibility of nanomaterials to ensure the safe application of plant-derived nanopesticides in agricultural systems.
