The best alternative to conventional pesticides is nanopesticide. Severe pollution is caused due to the rapid degradation and uncontrolled, unconstrained utilization of conventional pesticides. Nanopesticides can provide better penetration through the plants and control different diseases. Nanoformulation of pesticide certainly protects the premature degradation in the environment and delivers high impact on target species. Less environmental contamination and safe handling are the advantages of nanopesticides. In this paper, we reported the novel nano-mancozeb pesticide for plant disease control. Our study provides a novel nanoformulation of mancozeb pesticide by using Polyethylene glycol as a capping agent. Nanoparticles of the encapsulated complex were characterized by UV-Vis, Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Biological evaluation was conducted against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. The developed method is useful to farmers and it is an eco-friendly pesticide formulation.
