Abstract

This study investigates the potential of an alginate-based nanoformulation as an effective delivery system for azoxystrobin, aimed at managing fungal diseases in rice and maize. The nanoformulation encapsulates azoxystrobin within an alginate matrix. Controlled-release studies confirmed that the formulation provides a sustained release profile driven by matrix swelling and diffusion, which enhance…
