In the modern agriculture, various agrochemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators are widely used for effective pest management and optimum crop yield. Most herbicide formulations deliver the bulk of the active agents that can be readily released to the environment. This phenomenon leads to pesticide residues in the food chain, and this, in turn, has adverse effects in humans including carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. As a solution for this, a controlled release agrochemical has been developed in which the herbicide is embedded into a matrix that can be released in a controlled condition manner. This book focuses new controlled release of herbicides through some procedures. The release of herbicides into various aqueous media and the kinetic profile are also discussed after the successful intercalation of the herbicides at their optimum condition.
