“…A potential path for root entry could be parent root wound generated from root hair fall followed by lateral root emergence . However, other routes such as semipermeable epidermis can also play an active role in MSN uptake . Further studies are needed to explore how the MSNs stick to the root surface and/or root wounds, enabling their cellular entry.…”

In precision agriculture, nanotechnology has made significant contributions to the development of a smart cropping system through the support of unique properties of nanomaterials. Of the various nanomaterials, porous nanomaterials have an outstanding performance in building a sustainable delivery system for agrochemicals. In pesticide delivery, amorphous porous silica nanomaterials are considered as some of the most suitable options because of their easy synthesis processes, nontoxic nature, structural variation, tunable porous structure, physical and chemical stability, and ease of surface functionality. So far, multiple roles of these materials have been discussed in the literature; however, the influence of porous structure and structural variations toward developing a sustainable delivery system was not clear. A comprehensive review of the compatibility among the porous silica nanocarriers and pesticide molecules is also lacking. Thus, this review discusses the progress of porous amorphous silica nanomaterial synthesis, their structural variation, and surface modification for effective delivery of different pesticides to explore their potential as carriers.

“…Inorganic NDVs in a similar size range have been shown to be internalized by plant cells as well. Following administration to whole plants, inorganic zinc oxide nanoparticles up to 40 nm were imaged at the cell wall of rice plants , and ∼200 nm silica oxide nanoparticles encapsulating pesticides have been shown to increase the elasticity and expand cell wall pores in cucumber plants. , …”

Nanodelivery vehicles (NDVs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) that, within the agricultural sector, have been investigated for their ability to improve uptake and translocation of agrochemicals, control release, or target specific tissues or subcellular compartments. Both inorganic and organic NDVs have been studied for agrochemical delivery in the literature, but research on the latter has been slower to develop than the literature on the former. Since the two classes of nanomaterials exhibit significant differences in surface chemistry, physical deformability, and even colloidal stability, trends that apply to inorganic NDVs may not hold for organic NDVs, and vice versa. We here review the current literature on the uptake, translocation, biotransformation, and cellular and subcellular internalization of organic NDVs in plants following foliar or root administration. A background on nanomaterials and plant physiology is provided as a leveling ground for researchers in the field. Trends in uptake and translocation are examined as a function of NDV properties and compared to those reported for inorganic nanomaterials. Methods for assessing fate and transport of organic NDVs in plants (a major bottleneck in the field) are discussed. We end by identifying knowledge gaps in the literature that must be understood in order to rationally design organic NDVs for precision agrochemical nanodelivery.

Nanopesticides have been acknowledged by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry as a critical tool for revolutionizing future agricultural practices. However, the existing nanopesticides are often plagued by high costs, strict preparation conditions, uncontrollable size, and poor stability. Herein, taking the non‐systemic insecticide lambda‐cyhalothrin (LC) as a model pesticide, a series of LC‐loaded poly(octyl acrylate) nanogel formulations (LONFs) simultaneously featuring easy‐preparation, size‐controllable, and targeted delivery using microemulsion polymerization are developed. By adjusting the ratio of surfactants, the size of LONFs can be accurately designed to be 20, 50, 100, and 200 nm, exhibiting good stability under unconventional storage conditions (0 °C, 54 °C, ultraviolet radiation). Furthermore, reducing the particle diameter enhances the bidirectional translocation of LONFs in Vicia faba L., potentially reaching an optimal diameter (≈20 nm) for unique and rapid transport. LONFs increase the acute toxicity of LC to Aphis craccivora compared to conventional microemulsions (with a maximum reduction of 82.40% in LC50 at 24 h). Additionally, LONFs alter the lethal process of LC in human embryonic kidney 293T cells, with minimal cytotoxicity at a concentration of general application (40 mg L−1). This strategy simultaneously considers convenience, size controllability, and efficiency, providing a feasible method for the industrial development of nanopesticides.
