Abstract

Nanotechnology has the great potential to make ensure the valuable impact on season free weed control, eco environment impact analysis and management in these emerging areas especially pulses.

A laboratory experiment was carried out at the Department of Nano Science and Technology, TNAU, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu with the objective of fabrication of slow release nanoencapsulated herbicide and its bio-safety issues.

Our investigation on toxicological research should be aimed to define nanomaterial hazards and levels of exposure along the life cycle of the earthworms and microbes without affecting the environment.
