Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as advanced and environmental friendly materials for pesticide delivery

The increase in world population and the need to provide food is one of the most importantissues of today's societies. Agriculture is an important part of meeting the daily food needs ofhuman. But a large part of agricultural products is lost due to damage caused by pests anddiseases and weeds. Chemical pesticides are one of the main ways to reduce pest damage. Butit is not recommended because of the harm and problems it has for humans and theenvironment. Plant pesticides are healthy and environmentally friendly alternatives that can beused to control pests. However, the instability and decomposition of the effective substancesof these pesticides in environmental conditions has made it impossible to use them on a largeand efficient level. The use of new technologies, including nanotechnology, is one of thesolutions that can be used to increase the effectiveness of plant pesticides. Metal organicframeworks are one family of the nanomaterials that are suggested to investigate their abilityand efficiency to deliver plant pesticides and their impact on the environment.
