Design and Synthesis of Novel Green Pesticides
Submission Abstract:
The increasing need for sustainable agriculture has driven the search for novel, environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides. This thematic issue explores the design and synthesis of novel green pesticides that are super-efficient, non-toxic and residue-free. Emphasizing the development of bio-based and eco-friendly pesticides, the issue highlights cutting-edge research on novel compounds, mechanisms of action, and methods for their targeted application. Additionally, it covers advancements in the synthesis of chiral pesticides, pest resistance management, and the integration of green pesticides into integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. By presenting a range of interdisciplinary studies, this collection aims to provide insights into overcoming the challenges of pesticide toxicity, resistance, and environmental contamination, ultimately contributing to safer and more sustainable agricultural practices.
