Abstract
Weeds have the ability to interfere in the life cycle as well as the management practices involved with the crop plants. Integrated weed management is considered the best option to limit their population, but when it comes to managing them at a large scale, herbicides are considered as the easiest method of weed management. But there are negative of herbicides even when their formulations or rotations are used to control weeds, of which their persistence is one. Their overuse has also made the weeds familiar to these chemicals, evolving out resistance in weeds. Weed management through the use of nanoencapsulated herbicide formulations can be a solution to the problem of weed menace. Nanoherbicides with properties like high penetration capacity and an effective delivery system can be helpful to solve such problems.
