Designed to be biocompatible degradable, biopolymer nanoparticles were developed an alternative metallic nanoparticles, though safe‐by‐design, polymeric must field‐tested prior largescale use. Several field studies conducted observe detrimental effects of on plant growth yield using soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., a model system. Biopolymer made from lignin or zein applied seed treatments soybean seeds foliar sprays (zein only) plants. Studies nanoparticle (nano‐STs) measured the germination rates seedling evaluated laboratory, while stand counts, height, stage, yield, hundred‐seed weight field. Foliar assessed impact flower abortion pod production. To ensure nano‐STs would not compromise plant's defensive capabilities, herbivore feeding was leaf bioassay for defoliators damage index feeders. Growth rate, percent germination, root length impacted by nano‐STs. In field, had no heights, weights. Leaf assays indices indicate susceptibility attack increased due applications did increase decrease set. These results that have negative growth, should suitable use agriculture.

Most nitrogen (N) applied to plants as fertilizer is lost through leaching. Here, nanocellulose was used in mitigating N leaching loss. Lettuce-cropped soil treated with unmodified or Zn-modified (1–2% by wt) combination NPK, compared urea and NPK-only treatments. Consecutive leaching, plant growth, uptake, retention were assessed. Nanocellulose + NPK significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced NPK-only. 1-and-2 wt % nanocellulose, well 45, 38, 39, 49% 43, 36, 37, 47% NPK-only, respectively. Nitrogen leached mainly NO3– (98.4%).
