Governing bodies throughout the world, particularly in Europe, are now implementing legislative mandates with the objective of decreasing dependence on pesticides in agriculture to increase consumer and environmental safety. In order to reduce the risks associated with pesticide applications and reduce dependency on their use, Directives will promote low pesticide-input by implementing integrated pest management (IPM), and provide the means to establish the necessary conditions and measures to employ these practices, as well as to ensure security of commercial products. One approach includes the use of biological control agents and their products as alternatives to synthetic agro-chemicals. Trichoderma spp. are widely studied fungi and are among the most commonly used microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) in agriculture. They are presently marketed as bio-pesticides, biofertilizers, growth enhancers and stimulants of natural resistance. The efficacy of this fungus can be attributed to their ability to protect plants, enhance vegetative growth and contain pathogen populations under numerous agricultural conditions, as well as to act as soil amendments/inoculants for improvement of nutrient ability, decomposition and biodegradation. The living fungal spores (active substance) are incorporated in various formulations, both traditional and innovative, for applications as foliar sprays, pre-planting applications to seed or propagation material, post-pruning treatments, incorporation in the soil during seeding or transplant, watering by irrigation or applied as a root drench or dip. Trichoderma-based preparations are marketed worldwide and used for crop protection of various plant pathogens or increase the plant growth and productivity in diverse cultivated environments such as fields, greenhouses, nurseries; in the production of a variety of horticultural, fruits, trees and ornamental crops. A survey was conducted of Trichoderma-containing products found on the international market to obtain an overall perspective of the: 1) geographical distribution, 2) product composition and identity of Trichoderma species selected, 3) contents combined with Trichoderma in the products -other microbial species or substances in the mix, 4) number of products available globally and geographically, 5) number of products registered or having use specifications, 6) product formulations and applications, 7) manufacturer claims -target use, target pests, product type and effects of applications. The largest distribution of Trichoderma bioproducts is found in Asia, succeeded by Europe, SouthCentral America and North America. The majority of the labels indicated fungicidal properties, but only 38% of the marketed merchandise are registered. Ten Trichoderma species are specifically indicated, but many labels indicate a generic Trichoderma sp. or spp. mix in the list of ingredients. The most common formulation is a wettable powder, followed by granules. Generally, Trichoderma are applied to the seed or propagation material at...

“…9 On the other hand, there are indications that low concentrations of REEs may enhance fungal growth, as in the case of Trichoderma harzianum. 10 Furthermore, accumulation of REEs by both ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi has been reported; [11][12][13] their adsorption shows selectivity for different metals and seems to increase at higher pH values and at greater solution concentrations. 14 Recently, the content of several REEs was measured in various cultivated mushrooms.…”

“…As Neodymium level of exposure increased, a corresponding increase of Neodymium occurred in the tissues. 6 The effect of Neodymium on distributions and accumulations in various tissues, especially in the liver, lung, bone and kidney of people and animals has been reported, [6][7][8][9][10] but few papers have focused on the interactions of Neodymium with serum albumin through multi-spectroscopic techniques.…”

Neodymium is applied widely in agriculture to improve crop nutrition and incidentally in fertilizers, yet little is known of its effect on the biological function of human serum albumin (HSA). The interaction of Nd 3+ to HSA has been investigated mainly by fluorescence spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra and circular dichroism (CD) under simulative physiological conditions. Fluorescence data revealed that the quenching mechanism of HSA by Nd 3+ was a static quenching process and the binding constant is 5.71 × 10 4 L mol -1 and the number of binding sites is 1 at 292 K. The thermodynamic parameters (DH 0 = -20.79 kJ mol -1 , DG 0 = -26.58 kJ mol -1 , and DS 0 = 19.85 J mol -1 K -1 ) indicate that electrostatic effect between the protein and Nd 3+ is the main binding force. The distance r = 2.91 nm between donor (HSA) and acceptor (Nd 3+ ) was obtained according to Förster's nonradiative energy transfer. In addition, UV-vis, CD and synchronous fluorescence results showed that the addition of Nd 3+ changed the conformation of HSA.
