A novel system for controlled release of bioactive compounds, utilizing mineral microparticles functionalized with molecular gates, is proposed. This technology encapsulates essential oils and pesticides, releasing them selectively in response to biological stimuli such as enzymes or reactive oxygen species (ROS). The system targets pathogens like Botrytis cinerea, optimizing effectiveness while reducing environmental impact, chemical usage, and phytotoxicity. It offers a sustainable, precise, and scalable solution for modern agriculture, aligning with global regulatory standards and eco-friendly practices.
