Nanotechnology is increasingly allowing the creation of new materials and products whose application is capable of revolutionizing various areas of science. One of the technologies under development today by Embrapa's Nano Network is the controlled release of agricultural inputs. So far there are three controlled release vehicles already developed: (1) a hydrogel made of polyacrylamide (PAAm) reticulated with methylcelullose (MC); (2) chitosan and methacrylic acid nanoparticlesand (3) chitosan a
