Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are reported to impact plant growth in hydroponic systems.
This study describes the impact of commercial CuO (< 50 nm) and ZnO (< 100 nm) NPs on …

The current method of agriculture entails the usage of excessive amounts of pesticides and
fertilizers. The blatant use of conventional pesticides and fertilizers over several decades …

Hydroponic plant growth studies indicate that silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are phytotoxic. In
this work, the phytotoxicity of commercial Ag NPs (10 nm) was evaluated in a sand growth …

The environmental fate of metal oxide particles as a function of size was assessed by
comparing the behavior of CuO or ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) to that of the corresponding …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared in a one-step microwave-assisted synthesis
guided by the principles of green chemistry. Microwave parameters were optimized using …

Fungal plant pathogens such as Fusarium graminearum cause severe global economic
losses in cereals crops, and current control measures are limited. This work addresses the …

The last two decades have seen geomicrobiology evolve into a broad field encompassing a
wide range of environmentally significant processes such as proton and metal adsorption …
