Halloysite nanotube-polydopamine core–shell nano-carriers loaded with thymol offer a sustainable alternative to existing pesticide formulations while providing enhanced efficacy, stability, and crop safety.
Pesticide leaching and soil contamination are major issues in the present agriculture formulations. Hence, here 2D graphene oxide combination with cationic, anionic, or nonionic polymers were tested for runoff resistance targeted release behavior. Cationic polymer supplemented binding of rGO on leaf surface by 30% more than control reduced off-target 45% control. Further, to enhance fruit rot caused Colletotrichum capsici chili crop, was decorated Cu2–xSe nanocrystals, which provided...
Nitrogen fertilizer delivery inefficiencies limit crop productivity and contribute to environmental pollution. Herein, we developed Zn- Fe-doped hydroxyapatite nanomaterials (ZnHAU, FeHAU) loaded with urea (∼26% N) through hydrogen bonding metal-ligand interactions. The attach the leaf epidermal cuticle localize in apoplast of cells, triggering a slow N release at acidic conditions (pH 5.8) that promote wheat (
According to Food and Agriculture Organization 2015 report, post-harvest agricultural loss accounts for 20–50% annually; on the other hand, reports about preservatives toxicity are also increasing. Hence, preservative release with response fruit requirement is desired. In this study, acid synthesized in overripe fruits was envisaged cleave labile hydrazone salicylaldehyde from graphene oxide (GO). To maximize loading overcome challenge of GO reduction by hydrazine, two-step activation...
Current delivery practices for insecticide active ingredients are inefficient with only a fraction reaching their intended target. Herein, we developed carbon dot based nanocarriers molecular baskets (γ-cyclodextrin) that enhance the of into insects (southern green stink bugs, Nezara viridula L.) via tarsal pores. feeds on leguminous plants worldwide and is primary pest soybeans. After two days exposure, most ingredient cargo (>85%) remained soybean leaf surface, rendering them available to...
The indiscriminate use of pesticides leads to irreparable damage the ecosystem, which motivates for sustainable alternatives like pheromone-assisted pest management. tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta is a major threat cultivation. Moreover, its green management technology uses pheromone trap that has short field life. To overcome this problem, composite with graphene oxide (GO) and amine-modified (AGO) can extend diffusion path been developed. stimulates an effective electrophysiological response...
Abstract Classical plant uptake is limited to hydrophilic or water-dispersible material. Therefore, in order test the behaviour of hydrophobic particles, here, we tested fate particles (oleylamine coated Cu 2-x Se NPs (CS@OA)) comparison (chitosan-coated (CS@CH)) by treatment on roots. Surprisingly, CS@OA have been found be ~ 1.3 times more efficient than CS@CH tomato root penetration. An atomic force microscopy (AFM) adhesion experiment confirms that experience non-spontaneous yet...
AGO-AmB nanocomposites as a potential therapeutic anti-leishmanial agents.
To daze conventional pesticide release limitations, nanotechnology-mediated delivery using natural polymers has been actively investigated. However, the lack of information on what are beneficial/non-beneficial aspects hybrid- and organic-nanoparticles (NP) among polysaccharides which better suited concerning loading efficiency (PLE wt%), entrapment efficiency, sustained (SPR %) prompted us to investigate this study. In report, we systematically investigated a series such as starch (S),...
Cereal grains undergo a huge loss in storage, which is significantly due to microbial contamination; on the other hand, nutrient deficiency also coexists. Grain moisture key for contamination occur; hence, we envisage coating grain with edible hydrophobic barrier "zein". However, challenge zein have control over film thickness. To date, there has been no report of thickness less than 50 μm nonplanar surface. appeared planar In present work, zinc coordinated (Zinc@Zein), unwraps domain and...
Mushrooms are rich in ergosterol, a precursor of ergocalciferol, which is type vitamin D2. The conversion ergosterol to ergocalciferol takes place the presence UV radiation by cleavage "B-ring" ergosterol. As cannot penetrate deep into tissue, only minimal increase occurs sunlight. In this study, upconversion nanoparticles with property convert deep-penetrating near-infrared have been cast disk use sunlight and emit for D conversion. An engineered nanoparticle (UCNP) maximum particles...
Nd<sup>3+</sup> and Nd<sup>3+</sup>/Yb<sup>3+</sup> ion-doped lead-borate glasses were created. For the thermal studies of sample such as glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature and, melting Tm, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is done. The X-ray diffraction used to justify glassy nature samples. UV-VIS-IR prepared samples carried for absorption bands available in glasses....
Conventional pesticide release pollutes the atmosphere and root healthiness threats. To daze its limitations, nanotechnology mediated delivery using various natural polymers have been actively investigated. However, lack of information on what are beneficial/non-beneficial aspects hybrid- organic- nanoparticles (NP) among polysaccharides which better suited concerning loading efficiency (PLE), entrapment (E.E), sustained-pesticide-release (SPR) has prompted us to investigate this study.

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) or shin splints is the result of soft tissue injuries surrounding shaft. The most common causative factor that repetitive trauma while doing exertional exercises and maneuvers. These cause pain in lower leg affects part tibia This frequently encountered athletes dancers. Case Presentation: We present a 22 year old college student who happened to be athletic team reported with left pain. Various radiological investigations diagnosed him as case...
