Agrochemicals, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 2(2), P. 296 - 336

Published: June 9, 2023

In an alarming tale of agricultural excess, the relentless overuse chemical fertilizers in modern farming methods have wreaked havoc on once-fertile soil, mercilessly depleting its vital nutrients while inflicting irreparable harm delicate balance surrounding ecosystem. The excessive use such leaves residue products, pollutes environment, upsets agrarian ecosystems, and lowers soil quality. Furthermore, a significant proportion nutrient content, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, is lost from (50–70%) before being utilized. Nanofertilizers, other hand, nanoparticles to control release nutrients, making them more efficient cost-effective than traditional fertilizers. Nanofertilizers comprise one or plant within where at least 50% particles are smaller 100 nanometers. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots some examples types nanomaterials used production nanofertilizers. new generation that utilize advanced nanotechnology provide sustainable method fertilizing crops. They designed deliver controlled manner, ensuring gradually released over extended period, thus providing steady supply essential elements plants. controlled-release system fertilizers, as it reduces need for frequent application amount fertilizer. These high surface area-to-volume ratio, ideal holding releasing nutrients. Naturally occurring found various sources, volcanic ash, ocean, biological matter viruses dust. However, regarding large-scale production, relying solely naturally may not be sufficient practical. agriculture, has been primarily increase crop minimizing losses activating defense mechanisms against pests, insects, environmental challenges. nanofertilizers can reduce runoff leaching into improving sustainability. also improve fertilizer efficiency, leading higher yields reducing overall cost application. especially beneficial areas inefficient ineffective. way fertilize crops impact product promising technology help meet increasing demand food Currently, face limitations, costs potential safety concerns due nanomaterials, further research needed fully understand their long-term effects health, growth, environment.

Mechanisms of adsorption and functionalization of biochar for pesticides: A review

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 272, P. 116019 - 116019

Published: Jan. 30, 2024

Agricultural production relies heavily on pesticides. However, factors like inefficient application, pesticide resistance, and environmental conditions reduce their effective utilization in agriculture. Subsequently, pesticides transfer into the soil, adversely affecting its physicochemical properties, microbial populations, enzyme activities. Different interacting can lead to combined toxicity, posing risks non-target organisms, biodiversity, organism-environment interactions. Pesticide exposure may cause both acute chronic effects human health. Biochar, with high specific surface area porosity, offers numerous adsorption sites. Its stability, eco-friendliness, superior capabilities render it an excellent choice. As a versatile material, biochar finds use agriculture, management, industry, energy, medicine. Added helps absorb or degrade contaminated areas, enhancing soil activity. Current research primarily focuses produced via direct pyrolysis for adsorption. Studies functionalized this purpose are relatively scarce. This review examines biochar's absorption characteristics, formation mechanisms, impact, delves functionalization methods, prospects limitations.

Environmental effect of agriculture-related manufactured nano-objects on soil microbial communities

Environment International, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 173, P. 107819 - 107819

Published: Feb. 13, 2023

Agriculture-related manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) can revolutionize the crop production and help to achieve sustainable development goals. MNOs with diverse physico-chemical properties ability encapsulate deliver active ingredients in controlled, targeted stimuli responsive manner enhance efficiency while minimizing collateral damage non-target organisms environment. Application of form nanopesticides nanofertilizers is known affect soil microbial communities both positively negatively, but detailed studies varying dose, type environmental conditions are scarce. Therefore, it imperative understand complex mechanisms factors which shape MNOs-microbial interactions through integrating state art technologies including omics (transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics), artificial intelligence, statistical frameworks. Lastly, we propose idea MNOs-mediated manipulation microbiome modify for improved services. These services, if harnessed appropriately, modern agriculture achieving
