Toxicity and repellency of chlorpyrifos nanocapsules against subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus

Chlorpyrifos is widely used in agricultural and building industries to control many insects including termites. However, its low aqueous solubility and tendency to decompose under sunlight results in decrease in its efficiency. In the present study, chlorpyrifos was encapsulated into nano-sized pol...
