Chitosan is a naturally occurring linear biopolymer made of partially deacetylated acetyl and Nacetyl glucosamine. Its biocompatible physiochemical and biochemical properties are unmatched.
Chitosan is transformed to nanopowder for use in agriculture and associated industries as
nanocarriers for existing agrochemicals, ensuring the delayed release of chemicals with better
solubility. Chitosan nanopowder applied to leaves or soil can activate a plant’s natural defences
against insects and pathogens. These studies were carried out because there is a potential for
toxicological risk linked with products created utilizing nanotechnology, such as chitosan
nanopowder, and therefore researchers felt the need to investigate this. The egg parasitoides
Trichogramma Japonicum Ashmead was used as a low-cost biomarker to determine the potential
toxicity of chitosan nanopowder. This study looked into the possibility that the adult stage of the
egg parasitoids, Trichogramma Japonicum Ashmead might be negatively impacted by chitosan
nanopowder (80–100 nm). Unpaired t-test statistical analysis has been carried out. According to
the statistical analysis, host eggs exposed to chitosan nanopowder showed noticeably greater
parasitization than the control group. As a natural supply of carbohydrate polymers chitosan
nanopowder promotes the parasitization of T. Japonicum. The findings showed that T. Japonicum
favoured chitosan nanopowder. Through Y dual choice, eight-arm multiple choice, and no-choice
olfactometer experiments, as well as images from a stereozoom microscope and a scanning
electron microscope (SEM), the data was thoroughly supported. Future agricultural applications
of chitosan nanopowder will benefit from a deeper understanding of our findings.
