Abstract

ABSTRACT: The environmental effects of pesticides illustrates more number of upshots of using pesticides. The impact of modern agriculture on the environment is due to over use of pesticides and its negative impact. Over sixty percent of agricultural land is at its risk of pesticide pollution. The aim of this study is to synthesize Nanocarbendazim, a Benzimidazole fungicide used for control of soil borne diseases. Polymeric Nanoformulation of a Carbendazim by using polycapralactone as capping agent. The encapsulated Benzimidazole complex was characterized by using analytical techniques like UV-Visible spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering and Transmission electron microscope . The particle size distribution was materialized at 60-75nm. The bioassay was conducted against Aspergillus niger. The bioassay exemplified improved results as compared to the commercial pesticide
