Photoresponsive Vesicles of Pendimethalin, γ-Cyclodextrin, and an Azobenzene for Controlled Release of a Pesticide

“…Pendimethalin is commonly utilized for weed control in crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton. , However, excessive use of pendimethalin has been associated with the development of herbicide resistance in weeds, leading to a decline in its efficacy over time . Improper application of pendimethalin can result in residual presence in the soil, negatively impacting the subsequent growth of crops in the same area and causing adverse environmental effects. − Consequently, there is an urgent necessity to update the formulation of pendimethalin to achieve long-term weed control. , The development of pendimethalin formulations with lower toxicity and reduced environmental risk represents a relatively safe and environmentally friendly alternative.…”
