Nano-Micro Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(1)

Опубликована: Май 14, 2024

The flourishing progress in nanotechnology offers boundless opportunities for agriculture, particularly the realm of nanopesticides research and development. However, concerns have been raised regarding human environmental safety issues stemming from unrestrained use non-therapeutic nanomaterials nanopesticides. It is also important to consider whether current development strategy based on nanocarriers can strike a balance between investment return, if complex material composition genuinely improves efficiency, safety, circularity Herein, we introduced concept with minimizing carriers (NMC) prepared through prodrug design molecular self-assembly emerging as practical tools address limitations, compared it employing (NNC). We further summarized NMC examined potential challenges its preparation, performance, production. Overall, asserted that systems serve innovative driving force catalyzing green efficient revolution nanopesticides, offering way out predicament.

In view of previously recorded effects zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (ZnO TiO2 NPs) in a wide range plant processes including mitigation stress effects, greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate their impacts individually combination under lead (Pb) conditions. For this purpose, NPs (50 mg L-1), ZnO L-1) + were applied Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench plants key agronomic, physiological biochemical traits assayed different Pb conditions (0, 50 100 kg-1). Results revealed that negatively affected some agronomic parameters (e.g. height, leaf area number, fresh dry weight), photosynthesis pigments, Fv/Fm, Zn Fe content enhanced MDA, H2O2, sugar content, proline, total phenols, SOD APX enzymatic activities, essential oil content.

Wheat plants encounter both biotic and abiotic pressure in their surroundings. Among the stress factors, Russian wheat aphid (RWA: Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov) decreases grain yield quality. The current RWA control strategies, including resistance breeding application of aphicides, are outpaced potentially environmentally harmful. Alternatively, priming can stimulate defence responses to infestation. This study investigated potential two agents, avirulent Puccinia triticina (Pt) isolates salicylic acid (SA), against effect Pt SA reducing RWA-induced leaf damage increased antioxidant activities is an indication responses. Selected South African cultivars Lesotho landraces, grown under greenhouse conditions, were inoculated with (UVPt13: avirulent, UVPt26: virulent) treated at seedling or booting stages. rating score was used for phenotyping. antioxidant-mediated evaluated three selected further investigation. Our results revealed that agents significantly reduced most growth stages, UVPt13 (p ≤ 0.05) superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase activities. However, catalase activity exhibited a more pronounced decline isolate. isolate efficient than application. it crucial investigate effectors from prime could contribute developing strategies enhance crop protection relieve pest production.

Sustainable disease management in tomatoes: Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as an eco‐friendly alternative to conventional fungicides for Fusarium wilt control

Pest Management Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 21, 2025

Abstract BACKGROUND Fusarium wilt disease caused by the soil pathogen oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici significantly impacts global tomato production. While conventional fungicides remain primary control method, their high application volumes and environmental persistence necessitate alternative approaches. We hypothesize that magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) suppress fungal growth through a tripartite mechanism disrupts membrane integrity at nano‐bio interface, generation of reactive oxygen species iron‐mediated catalysis, perturbation iron homeostasis pathways. RESULTS In vitro studies demonstrated 5 nm NPs exhibited superior antifungal activity with an EC₅₀ 8.84 mg/L compared to Ningnanomycin 84.77 mg/L. Comparative efficacy under greenhouse conditions showed 0.5 achieved 65% suppression versus 71.4%, while requiring lower 180–360 g per hectare 4500–5850 mL hectare. The NP treatment reduced index 35.42%, alleviated root rot symptoms 19.33%, enhanced plant defense mechanisms elevated accumulation increased content 92.15%. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates provide competitive against multiple mechanistic pathways reducing total chemical input. dual functionality direct activation, combined volumes, establishes these as promising ecofriendly in production systems. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.
