PESTICIDE NANOPARTICLES OBTAINED FROM MICROEMULSIONS AND NANOEMULSIONS

摘要

The invention provides a redispersible powder and aqueous dispersions comprising nanoparticles of water insoluble organic pesticides. The invention further provides methods for preparing the redispersible powder and the aqueous dispersion, wherein the methods comprise preparation of an oil-in-water nanoemulsion or microemulsion and solvent removal. The present invention also provides pesticidal compositions comprising the redispersible powder and/or aqueous dispersions, and their agricultural use in combating pests.
