A method of making an agricultural composition comprising a plurality of NLPs each comprising a heterologous functional agent, the method comprising the step of:
- applying energy to a solution comprising;
- at least one phospholipid;
- at least one essential oil;
- at least one surface modifier;
- a heterologous functional agent;
- and
- an aqueous solution;
- thereby forming the NLPs, wherein the NLPs comprise a hydrophobic core.
