Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of advanced pesticide formulations plays a vital role in improving pest control efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and promoting sustainable agriculture. This Special Issue focuses on recent progress in pesticide formulation, processing, and application.
Topics include but are not limited to (1) novel formulation strategies such as nano- or microencapsulation; (2) environmentally responsive delivery systems; (3) adjuvants and carriers that enhance stability, adhesion, and uptake; and (4) application techniques that improve field performance. Potential topics include but are not limited to the above; please enquire about other related topics before submitting a manuscript. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
