A Novel developments of ZnO/SiO2 nanocomposite: a nanotechnological approach towards insect vector control
Recently, there is increasing efforts to develop newer and effective larvicides to control mosquito vectors. This study was carried out to examine the efficacy of ZnO/SiO2 nanocomposite synthesized using Gum Arabic against Culex quinquefasciatus larvae. The elemental composition, morphology, functio...
