Abstract
The extensive application of conventional chemical pesticides may result into several public health concerns as well as enviornmental hazards. To ensure food safety, use of alternative ecofriendly pesticide formulations is need of the hour. Nanocomposites, a special class of nanomaterials, having improved stability and barrier properties may be a viable option to develop environmentally benign slow/ controlled release pesticide formulations. Presently, the use of nanocomposites in preparation of insecticidal formulations is in early stage of research and development. Application of different nanocomposite materials as vector for chemical insecticides have been summarized in this review with major emphasis on application arenas in crop protection, along with addressing limitations and prospects of this domain.
