PARTICULES DE SILICE FONCTIONNALISÉES ET CHARGÉES AVEC DES AGENTS FONGICIDES, LEUR PRÉPARATION ET LEUR UTILISATION COMME SYSTÈMES DE LIBÉRATION DIRIGÉE ET CONTRÔLÉE DE FONGICIDES
The present invention relates to porous silica particles partially functionalized with long hydrocarbon chains loaded with a fungicidal agent having the ability to release the fungicidal agent in a targeted and selective manner at the site of infection, thus avoiding the unnecessary release of fungicidal agents on the plant product and into the environment. The invention also relates to a process for preparing these particles, to a system for the controlled and targeted release of fungicide based on the same and to the use thereof for fungicide treatments.
