Polymeric pesticide delivery systems to control environmental hazards

Meer over het boek

The book explores the environmental and health issues stemming from the excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture, highlighting their potential migration through leaching and volatilization. It presents polymer-based formulations, particularly polymer hydrogels, as a solution for controlled release of these chemicals. This approach not only minimizes ecological impact but also enhances soil water retention, promoting seed germination and reducing water and nutrient loss, ultimately leading to lower irrigation costs and improved agricultural sustainability.
