Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** the global agriculture industry is hampered by persistent pest infestations and climate-induced adversities, leading to considerable yield reductions. While effective, current pest management solutions foster environmental degradation and adversely affect nontarget organisms. Leveraging nanotechnology from recycled industrial wastes (such as chicken feathers) and innovative manufacturing technologies offers an avenue to develop responsive, controlled-release nano-biopesticides-based peptides that can precisely target pests while being environmentally responsible. Our objectives:produce intelligent nano biopesticide formulations emphasizing controlled release mechanisms responsive to PH/glutathione variations.validate the formulations through rigorous field trials targeting multiple crops and pathogens to ensure efficiency and environmental safety.evaluate market reception and socio-economic impact of the technology, including environmental impactour endeavor encompasses synthesizing preliminary nano bioformulations, leveraging keratinous extracts as nanoscale delivery platforms harmonized with active nano-elements of sulfur, copper, potassium, and their hybrids. Through systematic field evaluations, we aspire to establish the reliability of these formulations, ensuring a controlled release responsive to PH/glutathione fluctuations and providing innovative pest management while minimizing environmental repercussions. We will focus on diseases such as funguses (powdery mildew, down mildew, gummy stem blight, alternaria) and bacteria spots. We envisage the formulations will redefine pest control, significantly enhancing efficacy while curtailing adverse environmental and health impacts. The endeavor aims to foster a paradigm shift towards intelligent, responsive, and ECO-friendly pest control solutions.
