Sažetak
One of the most important global problems in food production is the protection of crops from harmful organisms. Usually, to control harmful organisms, synthetic chemicals are used. Generally, they are very toxic endangering human and animal health as well as pollute the environment. Biopesticides based on essential oils (EO) could replace or supplement the action of chemically synthesized pesticides in pest control. EOs isolated from various plants show toxic and repulsive effects on various harmful organisms. Their advantage is primarily due to the favorable ecotoxicological properties. The main problem in the use of EO (especially under the field conditions) is their chemical instability in the presence of air, light, moisture, and high temperatures resulting in their evaporation and decomposition. Encapsulation technology allows sensitive substances such as EO to be physically wrapped in protective material. Thus, the active compounds of EO are protected from adverse weather conditions, evaporation losses, unwanted interactions, etc. Microparticles loaded with EOs and the sustained release property have great potential for application in controlling many types of pests in various agricultural systems.
