| Abstract: | In the present study, two nanoformulations of pretilachlor: microemulsion (ME) and encapsulated monolithic dispersion (MD) have been developed. Both the formulations were tested for their stability and found to be stable at different temperature regimes. Characterization of these nanoformulations was performed by using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique. The average particle size of both nano formulations was in the nano range (1-100 nm). Bio-efficacy of nano formulations as weed control agents was studied at the field level against the weed Echinochloa crus-galli in rice fields where weed control was evaluated at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplantation (DAT). Both the tested nano formulations were found to perform better than that of the commercially available formulation of pretilachlor (Rifit® 50 EC). Harvest time residues of pretilachlor in rice grain and soil were also determined in the present study. |
