“…However, the hydrodynamic size obtained through DLS ( Figure 1 B) was larger (174 nm) than the size obtained through TEM. These findings corroborate an earlier report wherein the different sizes of iron oxide NPs were observed [ 54 ]. The average size distribution of Fe 3 O 4 /HA NPs in colloids was 174 nm, representing 96% of all colloidal solution, which is in agreement with the previous findings [ 32 ] and contrasted to another where size of NPs were 239 nm [ 19 ].…”

“…herbarum (up to 84.89%) [ 56 ]. The foliar spray and soil application of iron NPs improved the morpho-physiochemical attributes, morphological traits (sprouting percentage, number of leaves, plant biomass, root attributes), and biochemical attributes (such as chlorophyll, sugar content, and enzymatic activity of antioxidants) [ 54 ]. HA has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogenic bacteria [ 64 ] and fungi, including Botrytis cinerea , Fusarium graminearum , Physalospora piricola , Phytophthora infestans , Rhizoctonia cerealis , and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [ 65 , 66 ].…”

“…Despite stimulating the activity of oxidative enzymes, the higher concentration of 80 mg L −1 negatively affected the growth of sorghum genotypes. However, Haydar et al noted that the activities of all studied enzymes except peroxidase increased along with the plant growth [ 54 ]. The dissimilarities in published results might be due to the difference in NP size, culture condition or plant species used in the studies [ 77 ].…”

Acremonium wilt disease affects grain quality and reduces sorghum yield around the globe. The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of humic acid (HA)-coated Fe3O4 (Fe3O4/HA) nanoparticles (NPs) in controlling acremonium wilt disease and improving sorghum growth and yields. During the season 2019, twenty-one sorghum genotypes were screened to assess their response to Acremonium striticum via artificial infection under field conditions and each genotype was assigned to one of six groups, ranging from highly susceptible to highly resistant. Subsequently, over the two successive seasons 2020 and 2021, three different concentrations of 10, 40 and 80 mg L−1 of Fe3O4/HA NPs were tested against A. striticum. The concentrations of 40 and 80 mg L−1 were found to be highly effective in controlling acremonium wilt disease on different sorghum genotypes: LG1 (highly susceptible), Giza-3 (susceptible), and Local 119 (resistant) genotypes. After harvest, the physiological (growth and yield) and biochemical (peroxidase, catalase, and gibberellic acid) attributes of sorghum plants were determined, and the results demonstrated that concentrations of 40 and 80 mg L−1 increased peroxidase and catalase activities in healthy (uninoculated) sorghum genotypes compared to inoculated sorghum genotypes. Additionally, the toxicity of Fe3O4/HA NPs on male albino rats was investigated via hematological (CBC), chemical (ALT and AST) and histopathological analyses. The concentration 80 mg L−1 of Fe3O4/HA NPs caused a marked increase in ALT and creatinine level after 51 days of feeding. Severe pathological alterations were also observed in liver and kidney tissues of rats administered with grain sorghums treated with 80 mg L−1. In comparison with the untreated control plants, a concentration of 40 mg L−1 significantly increased the growth, yield and gibberellic acid levels (p ≤ 0.05) and was found to be safe in male albino rats. Conclusively, a concentration of 40 mg L−1 of Fe3O4/HA NPs showed promising results in curtailing A. striticum infections in sorghum, indicating its great potential to substitute harmful fertilizers and fungicides as a smart agriculture strategy.

“…Haydar et al evaluated the biological effects of iron oxide nanoparticles as well as EDTA-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles as a nano-micronutrient fertilizer in place of conventional iron fertilizers [ 73 ]. The effect of these fertilizers on agronomic trait parameters of mulberry ( Morus alba L.) was estimated in a pot experiment.…”

Nanomaterials (NMs) have received considerable attention in the field of agrochemicals due to their special properties, such as small particle size, surface structure, solubility and chemical composition. The application of NMs and nanotechnology in agrochemicals dramatically overcomes the defects of conventional agrochemicals, including low bioavailability, easy photolysis, and organic solvent pollution, etc. In this review, we describe advances in the application of NMs in chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which are the two earliest and most researched areas of NMs in agrochemicals. Besides, this article concerns with the new applications of NMs in other agrochemicals, such as bio-pesticides, nucleic acid pesticides, plant growth regulators (PGRs), and pheromone. We also discuss challenges and the industrialization trend of NMs in the field of agrochemicals. Constructing nano-agrochemical delivery system via NMs and nanotechnology facilitates the improvement of the stability and dispersion of active ingredients, promotes the precise delivery of agrochemicals, reduces residual pollution and decreases labor cost in different application scenarios, which is potential to maintain the sustainability of agricultural systems and improve food security by increasing the efficacy of agricultural inputs.

“…Las nanopartículas de óxido de cobre (CuO NPs) y óxido ferroso-férrico (Fe3O4) son usadas como fertilizantes para mejorar los cultivos y como estrategia sostenible debido al crecimiento de la población mundial, la escasez de fuentes de energía y la reducción de la tierra cultivable. Las nanopartículas contribuyen a que las plantas tengan una mejor absorción de los nutrientes, además de una mejor producción y calidad en las cosechas [43], [44]. Nanopartículas de óxidos metálicos son utilizadas para envases alimentarios seguros, activos e inteligentes, con el propósito de preservar la calidad de los alimentos aumentando la eficacia antimicrobiana y evitando el deterioro de los alimentos [45], [46].…”
