The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as nanofertilizers on the transformation phytogenic organic phosphorus (OP), specifically phytic acid (PA) and soy lecithin (LE), well their effects soil microbial functions, remain insufficiently characterized. This study employed a 60-day microuniverse experiment to investigate responses OP under ZnO NPs exposure, focusing physicochemical properties, (P) Zn species transformations, bacterial community function. At low concentrations (5 20 mg/kg), did not significantly reduce available P content, but they reduced into other species. Synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy revealed that increased relative abundance PA from 0.6 3.5% LE 58.4 67.1%. Bacterial composition was influenced by rather than concentration. A coupled biogeochemical cycle among carbon, nitrogen observed, with higher total further enhancing genes involved in P-related processes, such mineralization genes, which 6-, 4-, 2-fold PAZ5, LEZ5, PiZ5, respectively, compared Z5. Carbon fixation generally P-added groups, exemplified atoB, encodes acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, showing 3.70-, 3.05-, 3.47-fold increase In contrast, denitrification nirS, decreased 0.08-, 0.10-, 0.33-fold. These findings shed light fate P, supporting sustainable application improvement fertility.

Locusts, among the world's most destructive migratory pests, threaten food security by devastating crops and pastures. Conventional chemical insecticides pose environmental health risks, highlighting need for sustainable alternatives. We demonstrate efficacy of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles (36 ± 10 nm), as a safe, cost-effective insecticide locust management. These NiFe2O4 disrupt development impairing blastokinesis growth, thus resulting in malformed nymphs with compacted abdomens disorganised body structures - primarily arising from significantly lower heart rates (30 bpm control vs. 20 embryos exposed to NiFe2O4) changes end-diastolic end-systolic dimensions. Adult locusts retained ingested their coelomic cavities, which could potentially be used traceable markers swarm tracking. Additionally, were recoverable soil over 90% efficiency, minimising potential ecological impact. Our research therefore offers an innovative nanotechnology-based solution effective

The development of hydrophobic pesticide formulations remains constrained by complicated manufacturing processes, excessive reliance on organic solvents, and indispensable surfactants. practical application dimethomorph (DIM) is hindered its nature, posing risks to nontarget organisms. Inspired the uptake nanomaterials plants, DIM was encapsulated in cyclodextrin (CD) cavity optimize water-solubility sustained-release rate. spatial confinement effect CD could facilitate thermostability DIM. DIM/CD inclusion complex solutions were electrospun fabricate nanofibers with bead-free smooth morphology. As predicted, release reached plateaus accumulative values approximately 75%. antifungal activity possesses much higher than for controlling Rhizoctonia solani Haematonectria hematococco, thereby enhancing bioactivity reducing spraying frequency. inhibition rates DIM/HPβCD DIM/HPγCD are found be 55.8% 53.6% within 144 h, respectively. This work explores feasibility as a delivery platform sustained agriculture production.
