Field efficacy of a bioherbicide mimic (<scp>DiS</scp>‐<scp>NH<sub>2</sub></scp>) in a nanoparticle formulation for weed control in durum wheat
It is reported here for the first time that a nanoencapsulated DiS-NH<sub>2</sub> bioherbicide mimic provided an efficient post-emergence and contact bioherbicide that can control a wide range of weed species in durum wheat without damaging the crop. The mimic also has low ecotoxicity and improved soil permeability. © 2025 The Author(s). Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
