Microencapsulation of pesticides and their improved handling safety.
The purpose of pesticide formulations and recent requirements of pesticide industry are discussed, and the importance of research work on pesticide delivery systems, is pointed out. For this purpose, the microcapsules, as one of the typical controlled release formulations, play an important role. Handling safety of the pesticides is improved considerably by microencapsulation due to hazard and exposure reduction.
