Development of core-shell silver nanocomposite beads of alginate-chitosan for prolonged release of biopesticide

Key Points

• Prolonged release of biopesticide was achieved using core-shell silver nanocomposite beads.
• Release kinetics indicate effective delivery over a defined period, enhancing agricultural practices.
• Synthesis involved the incorporation of alginate and chitosan to create biocompatible nanocomposites.
• This approach supports sustainable pest management strategies through controlled biopesticide release.
