Abstract

Nano-pesticides are driving a paradigm shift toward sustainable plant protection. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances across four interconnected domains: (i) intelligent formulation design for targeted delivery and controlled release; (ii) interfacial behavior regulation to enhance foliar deposition; (iii) multi-omics elucidation of synergistic efficacy and molecular interactions; and (iv) environmental fate management, including risk mitigation and microbiome remediation. By integrating these multiscale innovations, the field is advancing nano-enabled crop protection from laboratory research toward field application. Collectively, this convergence provides a scientific foundation and interdisciplinary roadmap needed to build next-generation agricultural systems that are resource-efficient and ecologically compatible.
