Efficient and Economical Production of Nanopesticides via Flash Nanoformation Technology

A nanopesticide has been increasingly favored due to its small particle size, high biological efficacy, and good dispersibility. However, a nanopesticide typically has a high price because of its costly production, which limits its applications in many cost-sensitive agricultural areas. Aligned with the national policy of the dosage reduction and efficacy enhancement of agrochemicals, a nanopesticide has very promising and demanded applications. This review introduces a new technology, capable of highly effective production of an aqueous nanodispersion with an ultra-high load of a pesticide, the flash nanoformation (FNF) technology, which is expected to be able to realize massive production of nanopesticides in a fast and economical way.
