Pesticide Formulations and Their Importance in the Development of Promising Protectants for Cereal Crops

Abstract

The importance of the role of a formulation in realizing the potential of a new substance and promoting the preparation (medicinal or pesticide) on the market is undeniable. When developing a pesticide formulation, it is necessary to address the following issues: a convenient application form, drug fixation on the plant surface, penetration of an active substance into the plant, and high efficiency against weeds, plant diseases and pests. The modern formulations of nanoscale pesticides facilitate better realization of the biological potential of an active substance. This article gives a brief overview of the literature on pesticide formulations and their varieties, the preparation methods and effectiveness published in the last 10 years, with a particular focus on the authors' own work.
