Novel polymeric nanoparticles as nanofertilisers for alkaline iron‐deficient co...

Background and aims Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a nutritional disorder impacting plants and is prevalent in calcareous alkaline soils, correspond- ing to 30% of the world’s arable land. IDC compro- mises iron uptake in crops such as soybean (Glycine max). To improve the effect of iron fertilisers, we sought to develop a nanotechnology-based interven- tion using polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with F...

Sequential injection lab-on-valve with bead injection for iron speciation in wa...

Realism-based assessment of the efficacy of potassium peroxymonosulphate on Ste...

The potential of pentapotassium bis(peroxymonosulphate) bis(sulphate) (OXONE) to control biofilms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) was evaluated and compared to chlorine disinfection. Mature biofilms of drinking water (DW)-isolated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were formed using a simulated DWDS with a rotating cylinder reactor (RCR). After 30 min of exposure, OXONE at 10 × minimum bactericidal conc...

Gene expression analysis of soybean plants treated with iron-based nanofertilizers

Advanced nanofertilizers for iron uptake in calcareous alkaline soils

New iron nanofertilizers to amend chlorosis in soybean plants

Iron nanofertilizers for the development of sustainable soybean crops

Sequential injection method for bi-parametric determination of iron and mangane...

The aim of this work was to develop a sequential injection (SI) method for the determination of the micronutrients iron and manganese, in soil leachates, as a tool to assess potential groundwater contamination. The described sequential injection method was based on the reaction of iron with chelator MRB12, a greener alternative chromogenic reagent, and the reaction of manganese with zincon, within a single mani...

Foliar application of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone Fe-chelate [Fe(mpp)3] induces resp...

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) affects the growth of several crops, especially when growing in alkaline soils. The application of synthetic Fe-chelates is one of the most commonly used strategies in IDC amendment, despite their associated negative environmental impacts. In a previous work, the Fe-chelate tris(3-hydroxy-1-(H)-2-methyl-4-pyridinonate) iron(III) [Fe(mpp)3] has shown great potential for allev...

Use of an ether-derived 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone chelator as a new chromogenic re...

This article reports on the development and validation of a disposable microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for on-hand. in-situ, and cheap Fe(III) determination in natural waters complying with World Health Organization guidelines. The developed μPAD used 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone (3,4-HPO) as a colour reagent due to its considerably lower toxicity than traditionally used iron analytical reagents. It...
