2,4-D是最有效防控杂草的除草剂之一,但是因其挥发性和酯类制剂的分散性使得使用时需要格外留意。目前,一家来自阿根廷Santa Fe的研究公司Red Sucros采用了一种纳米技术以改变该除草剂的特性。阿根廷的研究员表示应用了纳米技术的除草剂可以使每公顷2,4-D的用量减少至多50%,而防控效果不变。此项改变源于“高生物效力和生物药效率”。 2,4-D is one of the most effective weed control herbicides, but due to its volatility and the dispersibility of ester formulations, it requires extra care when used. Currently, Red Sucros, a research company based in Santa Fe, Argentina, uses a nanotechnology to change the properties of the herbicide. Researchers in Argentina said the use of nanotechnology herbicides can reduce the amount of 2,4-D per hectare up to 50%, while the control effect remains unchanged. This change stems from “high biological effectiveness and bioavailability.”
