WDG formulation containing neem oil and metallic nanoparticles were prepared and evaluated for their efficacy against different pests nematode, fungus and cotton leaf worm. Various metallic nano particle l;ike Ag and Cu alone and in combinations were tested for their efficacy against different pest. The process parameters and composition were optimized to get more improved formulation in terms of performance & other quality parameters such as Suspensiblity, Dispersibility & Particle size, which affects performance of formulation during its application. The prepared formulation was tested against different pests like fungus, nematodes and further for antifeedant activity. S3( mixture of Cu + Ag) provides highest 42% antifeedancy, 73% mortality in nematodes, and no fungal growth even after 48hrs. The present formulation S3 shows antifungal, nematicidal and antifeedant properties all in one activities in single formulation. The present S3 WDG formulations are safe and promising alternates to minimize the risk of dustiness, contamination.
