Molds pose a severe challenge to agriculture because they cause very large crop losses. For this reason, synthetic fungicides have been used for long time. Without adequate protection against pests and various pathogens, losses could be as high 30–40%. However, concerns mainly about the environmental impact of antifungals human health risk prompted search natural alternatives. But do remedies only advantages? This article reviews current state knowledge on use antifungal substances in protect seeds phytopathogens. The advantages disadvantages using both cereal grains were discussed, indicating specific examples mechanisms action. possibilities an integrated control approach, combining cultural, biological, chemical methods are described, constituting holistic strategy sustainable mold management grain industry.

Pesticides have increased crop yield but severely impacted ecosystems and non-target organisms. Flubendiamide, a new generation pesticide, targets insect larvae also affects This study examines the effects of lowest observed effect concentration technical grade flubendiamide (0.5 µg/µL) on chick liver, focusing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme expression, oxidative stress, liver damage. Chick embryos treated with showed significant alterations in CYP mRNA protein levels, indicating toxicant accumulation. Elevated CYP3A4, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C19 levels were noted, suggesting enhanced biotransformation detoxification processes. However, byproducts led to as evidenced by decreased glutathione (GSH) elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase activities. DCFDA staining confirmed hydrogen peroxide (H

Current crop management worldwide is shifting toward the use of environmentally friendly products. With this objective, we developed a new phytosanitary product with biostimulant properties based on encapsulation garlic extract at lower dose (<0.1%) in chitosan nanoparticles as seed nano-priming agent. In present study, morphology nanoparticles, their stability under prolonged storage conditions, and efficacy are evaluated cereals rainfed crops, activities were correlated transcriptomic analysis. The showed spherical shape had maximum size close to 200 nm satisfactory 4 °C, reducing probability aggregation processes nanoparticles. agent field experiment wheat, barley, oat seeds 30 90 days, showing that plants treated significant differences higher values root development, leaf length, total plant weight. Finally, through RNA-SEQ analysis wheat seeds, have confirmed nano-treatment increases regard metabolism, response genes compared untreated seeds.
