The use of nanotechnology has been putting nanoparticles and nanostructures in contact with live organisms in ways not yet fully understood. In agriculture, this interaction can occur on a large scale, such as in the applications of controlled release nanostructure-encapsulated pesticides whose toxicity inherent to the drug release system still requires continual verification. Cases like this have motivated the proposal of this project, whose objective was to evaluate the potential impact on liv
