Among the daunting challenges to sustainability of agricultural sector is development environmentally sound technologies driving food security and higher yields together with an integrated "One Health" approach. This work explores a new niobium molecule, PNB53, as potent antifungal agent potential benefits for productivity low environmental impact. In vitro tests were performed evaluate efficiency PNB53 in controlling target nontarget fungi by production reactive oxygen species. Greenhouse field experiments on soybean crops conducted check activity effects productivity, comparison commercial fungicides. The results showed that presented significant decrease damage caused Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) crop, 61% efficacy, better against Corynespora cassiicola (42.4%) than fungicides (39.4%). biological control fungus Trichoderma harzianum was not affected doses dose vitro. productivities 4531, 4465, 3446 kg ha–1, respectively, fungicide, untreated check. Thus, 140 g ha–1 promoted yield increase 18.1 bags per hectare over plots, indicating positive physiological effect crops. view growing demand supplies commensurate population growth, niobium-based compounds can offer great contribution become alternative sustainable agriculture.
