Summary: Abstract: Plant essential oils have been recognized as important natural resources for prospecting new biopesticides. Piper aduncum, an abundant plant in the Amazon region, displays insecticidal and fungicidal properties. In this study, nanoformulations containing the essential oil of Piper aduncum were prepared using two protocols: poly (?- caprolactone) (PCL) containing Tween 80 as a stabilizer, and Zein protein using Pluronic (poloxamer) copolymer as a stabilizer. The PCL encapsulation approach proved to be a successful strategy for use as a nanocarrier of active compounds for agricultural applications. It can contribute to more effective and environmentally friendly pest management in agricultural systems.
