Construction of a pH-responsive nanopesticide Pro@ZnS@CMCS and its triple synergistic mechanism against sclerotinia stem rot

Key Points

• The nanopesticide shows high effectiveness against Sclerotinia stem rot, highlighting its potential for agricultural applications.
• Its triple synergistic mechanism includes enhanced delivery, targeted action, and efficacy against resistant strains.
• Developed using a novel pH-responsive formulation with zinc sulfide, the nanopesticide is biodegradable and eco-friendly.
• This research may enable improved pest management strategies in agriculture, addressing current limitations of traditional pesticides.
