Agricultural Science

Leonardo Fernandes Fraceto explores the development of nanoherbicides for more efficient, sustainable weed control. This Spanish-language webinar covers design strategies, interactions between nanomaterials and plants, controlled release, reduced herbicide doses and potential reductions in environmental impact. It examines how these principles could support more precise crop management and discusses the practical benefits, barriers and opportunities associated with adopting nanoherbicides in real agricultural systems. Speaker: Dr. Leonardo Fernandes Fraceto, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Brazil. The registration page also lists Dr. Ingrid Montes, Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Río Piedras. Co-produced by ACS Webinars and Sociedad Química de México. Wednesday 30 September 2026, 14:00–15:00 America/New_York (EDT); the live registration page confirms 20:00 CEST. Online via Zoom Events, free registration required. Follow Regístrese Gratuitamente on the ACS event page to the verified Zoom Events registration page. A free ACS ID may be required.
