Abstract:Developing cost‐effective, energy‐saving, and eco‐friendly methods to construct nanopesticides fulfill the requirement of modern agriculture. Benefiting from the versatility of metal‐based complexes, a facile copper‐driven method is discovered for the formation of a fungicide prothioconazole nanocomplex (Cu‐Pro) with the particle size of ≈300 ± 85 nm. Interestingly, adding 0.5–1% of anionic surfactants could generate nanocomplexes within 60 ± 12 nm and form stable dispersed nanosuspensions. Both nanocomplexes … Show more
