Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid rise of nanotechnology has successfully addressed numerous challenging issues in agricultural production, driving the sustainable development of modern agriculture. How to enhance the targeted action and control efficacy of components such as chemical pesticides, biopesticides, and dsRNA through the use of nanotechnology remains a key challenge for researchers. Among these efforts, the design or selection of environmentally friendly nanocarriers has become a critical factor influencing the application of nanopesticides.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present current advancements in the applications of nanotechnology for pesticide formulation and agricultural plant disease and pest control. Research in this field has gained further momentum ever since nanopesticides were selected by IUPAC as one of the "ten chemical innovations that will change our world." Nanomaterials, either by themselves or as carriers loaded with active ingredients, can achieve highly efficient prevention and control of agricultural plant diseases and pests. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading experts in the field to provide cutting-edge perspectives on the progress of nanopesticides in plant protection applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
