The future of herbicide application: controlled-release formulations for enhanced agricultural sustainability.
Review in Designed monomers and polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The agricultural sector faces significant challenges from weed-induced crop losses, driving increased herbicide use and associated environmental and health risks. Controlled-release formulations (CRFs) of herbicides offer a promising solution by employing advanced materials such as synthetic and natural polymers, clay minerals, siliceous materials, and nanoparticles to optimize the release and efficacy of active ingredients (AIs). This review explores the mechanisms of controlled release - desorption, diffusion, osmosis, and matrix dissolution - and examines the role of carrier properties in modulating AI release kinetics. Advances in smart nanocarriers and encapsulation technologies demonstrate improved precision, reduced herbicide usage, and minimal impact on soil microbiomes, fostering sustainable agriculture. Despite these innovations, challenges remain in standardizing processes, enhancing cost-effectiveness, and scaling up field applications. This study emphasizes the critical balance between improving agricultural productivity and minimizing ecological harm, highlighting the potential of CRFs to revolutionize weed management practices while preserving soil health and ecosystem integrity.
