A SYNERGISTIC NANOBIOFORMULATION USEFUL AS INSECT CONTROL AGENT AND A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a synergistic nanobioformulation comprising trans-caryophyllene along with silica nanoparticles for controlling agricultural pests like Spodoptera litura (F.) and Achaea Janata (L). The potential of the said nanobioformulation was evaluated against said insects on the plant or plant parts (leaves) to detect their antifeedant and insecticidal activities.
