Therefore, in the agriculture scenario, the use of nanobiopesticides for ease of application, targeted delivery and a reduction in the load of pesticides, and protection of microbial diversity is holding significant promise. The nanomaterials in sensors and biosensors help in miniaturization, the real-time measurement of more variables present in low quantities, and early detection of pests and pathogens. The metal and metal oxide nanoparticles play significant roles in biopesticide degradation. However, one has to address issues related to associated risks to crop health, soil microbial diversity, and mankind due to such nano-based products. Accordingly, formulation of regulatory guidelines for their use also becomes an important component of the strategy.</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NA</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
