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...
A novel high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection method based on microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) as a sample preparation approach is described for the determination of zonisamide (ZNS) in human plasma. MEPS parameters were optimised using a Plackett–Burman experimental design to achieve the best extraction conditions. The chromatographic separation of ZNS and chloramphenicol [intern...
