Nanoparticle tools to improve and advance precision practices in the agrifoods sector towards sustainability: A review

Common agricultural pest and pathogen management practices are reliant on agrochemicals (pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers), drugs and synthetic materials that can lead to contamination of water, soil and food products. Indiscriminate use of agrochemicals has a cost in the form of lost crops,...
