Abstract
The development of intelligent multifunctional nanopesticides featuring enhanced foliage affinity and hierarchical target release is increasingly pivotal in modern agriculture. In this study, a novel cationic amphiphilic comb-shaped polymer, termed PEI-TA, was prepared via a one-step Michael addition between low-molecular-weight biodegradable polyethylenimine (PEI) and tetradecyl acrylate (TA), followed by neutralization with acetic acid. Using the emulsifier PEI-TA, a positively charged avermectin (AVM) nanoemulsion was prepared via a phase inversion emulsification process. Under optimal formulation, the obtained AVM nanoemulsion (defined as AVM@PEI-TA) demonstrated exceptional properties, including small size (as low as 67.6 nm), high encapsulation efficiency (up to 87.96%), and high stability toward shearing, storage, dilution, and UV irradiation. The emulsifier endowed AVM@PEI-TA with a pronounced thixotropy, so that the droplets exhibited no splash and bounce when they were sprayed on the cabbage leaf. Owing to the electrostatic attraction between the emulsifier and the leaf, AVM@PEI-TA showed improved leaf adhesion, better deposition, and higher washing resistance in contrast to both its negatively charged counterpart and AVM emulsifiable concentrate (AVM-EC). Compared to the large-sized particles, the small-sized particles of the AVM nanoemulsion more effectively traveled long distances through the vascular system of veins after entering the leaf apoplast. Moreover, the nanoparticles lost stability when exposed to multidimensional stimuli, including pH, temperature, esterase, and ursolic acid individually or simultaneously, thereby promoting the release of AVM. The release mechanisms were discussed for understanding the important role of the emulsifier in nanopesticides.

Abstract
Growers have depended on the specificity and efficacy of streptomycin and oxytetracycline as a part of their plant disease arsenal since the middle of the 20th century. With climate change intensifying plant bacterial epidemics, the established success of these antibiotics remains threatened. Our strong reliance on certain antibiotics for devastating diseases eventually gave way to resistance development. Although antibiotics in plant agriculture equal to less than 0.5% of overall antibiotic use in the United States, it is still imperative for humans to continue to monitor usage, environmental residues, and resistance in bacterial populations. This review provides an overview of the history and use, resistance and mitigation, regulation, environmental impact, and economics of antibiotics in plant agriculture. Bacterial issues, such as the ongoing Huanglongbing (citrus greening) epidemic in Florida citrus production, may need antibiotics for adequate control. Therefore, preserving the efficacy of our current antibiotics by utilizing more targeted application methods, such as trunk injection, should be a major focus.

Abstract
In an effort to make pesticide use safer, more efficient, and sustainable, micro-/nanocarriers are increasingly being utilized in agriculture to deliver pesticide-active agents, thereby reducing quantities and improving effectiveness. In the use of nanopesticides, the choice to further design and prepare pesticide stimulus-responsive nanocarriers based on changes in the plant growth environment (light, temperature, pH, enzymes, etc.) has received more and more attention from researchers. Based on this, this paper examines recent advancements in nanomaterials for the design of stimulus-responsive micro-/nanocarriers. It delves into the intricacies of preparation methods, material enhancements, in vivo/ex vivo controlled release, and application techniques for controlled release formulations. The aim is to provide a crucial reference for harnessing nanotechnology to pursue reduced pesticide use and increased efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pesticide formulations based on nanotechnology can effectively improve the efficiency of pesticide utilization and reduce pesticide residues in the environment. In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles containing disulfide bonds were synthesized by the sol-gel method, carboxylated and adsorbed with lufenuron, and grafted with cellulose to obtain a lufenuron-loaded nano-controlled release formulation (Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose). RESULTS The structure and properties of Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose were characterized. The results showed that Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose exhibits a regular spherical shape with 12.41% pesticide loading. The highest cumulative release rate (73.46%) of this pesticide-loaded nanoparticle was observed at 7 days in the environment of glutathione and cellulase, which shows redox-enzyme dual-responsive performance. As a result of cellulose grafting, Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose had a small contact angle and high adhesion work on corn leaves, indicating good wetting and adhesion properties. After 14 days of spraying with 20 mg L-1 formulations in the long-term control efficacy experiment, the mortality of Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose against Ostrinia furnacalis larvae (56.67%) was significantly higher than that of commercial Luf@EW (36.67%). Luf@MSNs-ss-cellulose is safer for earthworms and L02 cells. CONCLUSION The nano-controlled release formulation obtained in this study achieved intelligent pesticide delivery in time and space under the environmental stimulation of glutathione and cellulase, providing an effective method for the development of novel pesticide delivery systems. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Asion corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenee)) is one of the most important factors affecting the normal growth and yield of corn. However, chemical control methods currently in use cause severe pollution. In the present study, aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs-NH2) and polylactic acid (PLA) were used as the carrier and capping agent respectively to construct an insect gut microenvironment nano-response system that loaded spinosad, a biopesticide used to control O. furnacalis. The resulting spinosad@MSNs-PLA demonstrated high loading capacity (38.6 %) and improved photostability of spinosad. Moreover, this delivery system could intelligently respond to the intestinal microenvironment of the corn borer's gut and achieve the smart release of spinosad. Compared with the conventional pesticide, spinosad@MSNs-PLA exhibited superior efficacy in controlling the O. furnacalis and could uptake and transport in maize plants without adverse effects on their growth. Furthermore, the toxicity of spinosad@MSNs-PLA on zebrafish was reduced by over 50 times. The prepared spinosad@MSNs-PLA has great potential and could be widely applied in agricultural production in the future. This approach could improve the utilization of pesticide and reduce environmental pollution. In addition, MSNs-PLA nano vectors provide new ideas for the control of other borer pests.

Abstract
The increase in pectin methylesterase (PME) activity on fresh-cut apple surface can smartly trigger the controlled release of bactericidal agents encapsulated within intelligent responsive Pickering emulsions. In this study, we developed a PME-responsive nanocomplex (W-H-II) to stabilize Pickering emulsion containing thyme essential oil (TEO), preserving fresh-cut apples. W-H-II, formed by heat-induced whey protein isolate (WPI) and high methoxyl pectin (HMP) (pH 4.5, 85 °C, 15 min, WPI:HMP ratio 1:2), exhibited good pH stability due to the stabilizing effects of hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. The presence of PME triggered the demethylation of HMP within W-H-II, conferring PME response characteristics. Subsequently, a bacteriostasis experiment with pectinase-producing Bacillus subtilis provided evidence of PME-triggered TEO release from W-H-II-stabilized Pickering emulsion. Furthermore, microscopy techniques were employed to verify the demulsification behavior of the emulsion when PME activity ranged from 0.25 to 2.50 U mL-1. Finally, the PME-responsive TEO Pickering emulsion effectively preserved fresh-cut apples. Stored for 6 days at 5 °C and 10 °C, as the PME activity on the apple surface increased, the decay rate of the coated group was 0 %, with a total colony count below 3.0 log CFU g-1. This study introduces a novel intelligent preservation strategy for storing fresh-cut apples.

Abstract
Increasing concern about environmental pollution has driven the development of controlled release formulations for agrochemicals. Due to the advantages of degradability and responsiveness to environmental stimuli, polysaccharide-based hydrogel is an ideal carrier for agrochemicals controlled release. In this study, a method-easy polysaccharide hydrogel for controlled release of difenoconazole (DZ) was prepared with sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). Due to its three-dimensional crosslinked mesh structure, the prepared hydrogels (CSDZ) showed an agrochemical load capacity of 9.03 % and an encapsulation efficiency of 68.64 %. The release rate is faster in alkaline solution, followed by neutral solution, and slowest in an acid environment, which is consistent with the swelling behavior. Furthermore, leaching studies showed that CSDZ hydrogels have excellent protective properties for encapsulated agrochemicals. Compared with technical DZ, the results of in vitro and pot antifungal testing showed that CSDZ had a better control effect against wheat crown rot (Fusarium pseudograminearum). Safety assessment studies indicated that CSDZ hydrogels exhibit good biocompatibility on nontargeted organisms (Daphnia magna, zebrafish and Eisenia fetida) and wheat. This study aims to provide a potentially promising approach for the preparation and application of biocompatible polysaccharide-based hydrogels for agrochemical-controlled release in sustainable disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pesticides are irreplaceable inputs for protecting crops from pests and improving crop yield and quality. Self-assembly nanotechnology is a promising strategy by which to develop novel nano-formulations for pesticides. Nano-formulations improve the effective utilization of pesticides and reduce risks to the environment because of their eco-friendly preparation, high drug loading, and desirable physicochemical properties. Here, to enhance the utilization efficiency of myclobutanil (MYC) and develop a novel nano-formulation, carrier-free co-assembled nanoparticles (MT NPs) based on MYC and tannic acid (TA) were prepared by noncovalent molecular interactions using a green preparation process without any additives. RESULTS The results showed that the prepared spherical nanoparticles had good stability in neutral and acidic aqueous solutions, low surface tension (40.53 mN m-1 ), high rainfastness, and good maximum retention values on plant leaves. Release of active ingredients from MT NPs could be regulated by altering the molar ratio of subassemblies in the co-assembly and the pH of the environment. Antifungal experiments demonstrated that MT NPs had better activities against Alternaria alternata and Fusarium graminearum [half-maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) = 6.40 and 77.08 mg/L] compared with free MYC (EC50 = 11.46 and 124.82 mg/L), TA (EC50 = 251.19 and 503.81 mg/L), and an MYC + TA mixture (EC50 = 9.62 and 136.21 mg/L). These results suggested that MYC and TA incorporated in the co-assembled nanoparticles had a synergistic antifungal activity. The results of a genotoxicity assessment indicated that MT NPs could reduce the genotoxicity of MYC to plant cells. CONCLUSION Co-assembled MT NPs with synergistic antifungal activity have outstanding potential for the management of plant diseases. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive controlled release systems have received extensive attention to improve the pesticide bioavailability and minimize environmental pollution. Herein, a multiple stimuli-responsive IMI@HCuS@mSiO2 @ -ss-CβCD delivery system was constructed using modified carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CβCD-ss-COOH) as sealing materials, hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles with amino-functionalized mesoporous silica shell (HCuS@mSiO2-NH2) as carriers and imidacloprid (IMI) as the model drug. The cavity structure of HCuS@mSiO2-NH2 would provide a large space for pesticide loading. The results revealed that HCuS@mSiO2-ss-CβCD was approximately 230 nm in size and the loading efficiency for IMI was 25.7%, and exhibited better biosafety on bacteria and seed. HCuS carriers were also served as photothermal agent and possessed high photothermal conversion effect (η = 38.4%). IMI@HCuS@mSiO2 @ -ss-CβCD displayed excellent foliage adhesion and multiple stimuli-responsive release properties to pH, α-amylase, GSH, and NIR. The photostability of IMI embedded in CuS@mSiO2 @ -ss-CβCD was approximately 10 times that of IMI solution. This work provides an efficient nanoplatform for realizing pesticide delivery.

Abstract
Kasugamycin residues (KASU), a pest control antibiotic, was reported as an ecosystem threat owing to its over-application in plant protection to meet the growing global need for agronomic products. Therefore, we report herein the first electrochemical sensor for fast and sensitive analysis of KASU in vegetables based on the synergetic hybridization between conducting polyserine film (poly (SER)), and carbon nanomaterials including functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The sensor was characterized morphologically using Scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force Microscopy (AFM), while cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for electrochemical characterization. Under the optimized conditions using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the sensor exhibited an outstanding sensitivity and selectivity, with a good linear response of 3-106 µg/mL and an assessed limit of detection and quantification of 0.40 and 1.33 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor was effectively applied to quantify KASU in cucumber, zucchini, and carrots with a recovery range 95.5-100.1%, and RSD lower than 4.1% (n = 3), showing its applicability and efficiency for selective analysis of KASU in foodstuffs.

Abstract
Soft rot pectobacteria (SRP) are phytopathogens of the genera Pectobacterium and Dickeya that cause soft rots on a wide range of crops and ornamental plants. SRP produce plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs), including pectinases. Bdellovibrio and like organisms are bacterial predators that can prey on a variety of Gram-negative species, including SRP. In this research, a low methoxyl pectin (LMP)-based immobilization system for B. bacteriovorus is established. It takes advantage that pectin residues induce PCWDE secretion by the pathogens, bringing upon the release of the encapsulated predators. Three commercial LMPs differing in the degree of esterification (DE) and amidation (DA) were tested as potential carriers, by examining their effect on SRP growth, enzymes secretion and substrate breakdown. A clear advantage was observed for pectin 5 CS with the lowest DE and DA content. The degradation of 5 CS pectin-based carriers was further optimized by reducing cross-linker and pectin concentration, by adding gelatin and by dehydration. This resulted in SRP-induced disintegration of the carrier within 72 h. The released encapsulated predator caused a large decrease in SRP population while its own significantly increased, demonstrating the efficiency of this system in which the pathogen brings about its own demise.

Abstract
In recent years, silica nanomaterials have been widely studied as carriers in the field of antibacterial activity in food. Therefore, it is a promising but challenging proposition to construct responsive antibacterial materials with food safety and controllable release capabilities using silica nanomaterials. In this paper, a pH-responsive self-gated antibacterial material is reported, which uses mesoporous silica nanomaterials as a carrier and achieves self-gating of the antibacterial agent through pH-sensitive imine bonds. This is the first study in the field of food antibacterial materials to achieve self-gating through the chemical bond of the antibacterial material itself. The prepared antibacterial material can effectively sense changes in pH values caused by the growth of foodborne pathogens and choose whether to release antibacterial substances and at what rate. The development of this antibacterial material does not introduce other components, ensuring food safety. In addition, carrying mesoporous silica nanomaterials can also effectively enhance the inhibitory ability of the active substance.

Abstract
Pectin exists extensively in nature and has attracted much attention in biological applications for its unique chemical and physical characteristics. Functionalized pectin, especially pectic conjugates, has given many possibilities for pectin to improve its properties and bioactivity as well as to deliver active molecules. To better exploit this strategy of pectic functionalization, this review presents in detail the structural modifications of pectin, different synthetic methods, and design strategies of pectic conjugates involving both traditional chemical and "green" approaches. Here, the research ideas and applications of pectic prodrugs as well as the development of preparation based on pectic conjugates are reviewed, with emphasis on crosslinking systems of functionalized pectin and nanosystems based on self-assembly techniques. We hope this review will provide comprehensive and valuable information for the functionalization and systematization of the pectic conjugate from synthesis to application.

Abstract
Nanopesticides formulation has been applied in modern agriculture, but the effective deposition of pesticides on plant surfaces is still a critical challenge. Here, we developed a cap-like mesoporous silica (C-mSiO2) carrier for pesticide delivery. The C-mSiO2 carriers with surface amino groups present uniform cap-like shape and have an mean diameter of 300 nm and width of 100 nm. This structure would reduce the rolling and bouncing of carriers on plant leaves, leading to improving the foliage deposition and retention. After loading dinotefuran (DIN), polydopamine (PDA) was used to encapsulate the pesticide (DIN@C-mSiO2@PDA). The C-mSiO2 carriers exhibit high drug loading efficiency (24.7%) and benign biocompatibility on bacteria and seed. Except for pH/NIR response release, the DIN@C-mSiO2@PDA exhibited excellent photostability under UV irradiation. Moreover, the insecticidal activity of DIN@C-mSiO2@PDA was comparable to that of pure DIN and DIN commercial suspension (CS-DIN). This carrier system has the potential for improving the foliage retention and utilization of pesticides.

Abstract
The discovery of novel chiral selectors always fascinates us. This work describes the chiral separation performances of a new chiral selector (kasugamycin, KAS) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) for six pairs of stereoisomers, including ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, quinine and quinidine, cinchonine and cinchonidine, and amlodipine, promethazine and ofloxacin enantiomers. Kasugamycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic in agriculture, shows significant biological activity against rice blast with low toxicity. As it turns out, this new chiral selector possesses good CE compatibility and stereoselectivity towards model analytes. In this work, we systematically investigated several separation parameters including kasugamycin concentration, buffer pH, separation voltage and the composition of the buffer solution. A detailed discussion about the chiral recognition mechanism was made based on Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) analysis, NMR experiments (1D and 2D) and molecular modeling. This is the first time that kasugamycin is utilized as a chiral selector in CE, and the development of new chiral selectors from agricultural or veterinary antibiotics deserves more attention.

Abstract
A multifunctional nanomaterials-based agrochemical delivery system could supply a powerful tool for the efficient use of pesticides. Redox-responsive carriers as novel delivery systems of pesticide application in agriculture could promote the pest control and reduce plant pesticide residues due to the controllable release of agrochemicals. Herein, neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid (Ace) was encapsulated with decanethiol in a mesoporous silica nanocarrier pesticide delivery system for a nanopesticide Ace@MSN-SS-C10. The Ace@MSN-SS-C10 had redox-responsive sustained release behavior triggered by glutathione (GSH). Moreover, the Ace@MSN-SS-C10 possessed excellent wettability, adhesion performance, stability, and biosafety. Greenhouse experiments showed that foliar spraying 1.5 mg Ace@MSN-SS-C10 per plant reduced the populations of adult and juvenile aphids (Aphis craccivora Koch) on Vicia faba L. after 5 days of aphid infestation by 98.7 % and 99.3 %, respectively. Notably, the leaf final Ace residue (0.32 ± 0.004 mg/kg) of Ace@MSN-SS-C10 application at the dose of 1.5 mg/plant after 5 days of aphid infestation was lower than the international Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) maximum residue limits (0.4 mg·kg-1) or much lower (24.87-folds decrease) than those treated with conventional Ace (40 % acetamiprid water dispersible granule). Altogether, this GSH-dependent redox-responsive delivery system for loading acetamiprid can develop as an efficient and environmentally-friendly nanopesticide to control aphids in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Effective pest management for enhanced crop output is one of the primary goals of establishing sustainable agricultural practices in the world. Pesticides are critical in preventing biological disasters, ensuring crop productivity, and fostering sustainable agricultural production growth. Studies showed that crops are unable to properly utilize pesticides because of several limiting factors, such as leaching and bioconversion, thereby damaging ecosystems and human health. In recent years, stimuli-responsive systems for pesticides delivery (SRSP) by nanotechnology demonstrated excellent promise in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of pesticides. SRSP are being developed with the goal of delivering precise amounts of active substances in response to biological needs and environmental factors. An in-depth analysis of carrier materials, design fundamentals, and classification of SRSP were provided. The adhesion of SRSP to crop tissue, absorption, translocation in and within plants, mobility in the soil, and toxicity were also discussed. The problems and shortcomings that need be resolved to accelerate the actual deployment of SRSP were highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Multimodal antimicrobial technology is regarded as a promising strategy for controlling plant diseases because it enhances antimicrobial efficacy by blocking multiple pesticide-resistance pathways. In this work, a pH-responsive multimodal antimicrobial system was constructed based on ZIF-90 for the controlled release of kasugamycin (KSM). A series of physicochemical characterizations confirmed the successful fabrication of ZIF-90-KSM. The results indicated that the loading capacity of ZIF-90-KSM for KSM was approximately 6.7% and that the ZIF-90 nanocarriers could protect KSM against photodegradation effectively. The acid pH at the site of disease not only decompose the Schiff base bonds between KSM and ZIF-90, but also completely dissolved the nanocarriers. The simultaneous release of KSM and Zn2+ ions was able to achieve multimodal antimicrobial functions during disease occurs. A bioactivity survey indicated that ZIF-90-KSM had superior fungicidal activity and longer duration against Magnaporthe oryzae than KSM aqueous solution. In addition, the phytotoxicity assessment of ZIF-90-KSM on rice plants did not reveal any adverse effects. Therefore, ZIF-90-KSM prepared by Schiff base reaction has great potential for achieving synergistic antifungal functions and provides an eco-friendly approach to manage rice diseases.

Abstract
Currently, environmental-responsive pesticide delivery systems have become an essential way to improve the effective utilization of pesticides. In this paper, by using hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) as a nanocarrier and TA-Cu metal-phenolic networks as a capping agent, a pH-responsive controlled release nano-formulation loaded with prochloraz (Pro@HMS-TA-Cu) was constructed. The structure and properties of Pro@HMS-TA-Cu were adequately characterised and analysed. The results showed that the loading content of Pro@HMS-TA-Cu nanoparticles was about 17.7% and the Pro@HMS-TA-Cu nanoparticles exhibited significant pH-responsive properties. After a coating of the TA-Cu metal-phenolic network, the contact angle and adhesion work of Pro@HMS-TA-Cu nanoparticles on the surface of oilseed rape leaves after 360 s were 59.6° and 107.2 mJ·m-2, respectively, indicating that the prepared nanoparticles possessed excellent adhesion. In addition, the Pro@HMS-TA-Cu nanoparticles demonstrated better antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and lower toxicity to zebrafish compared to prochloraz technical. Hence, the pH-responsive nanoparticles prepared with a TA-Cu metal-phenolic network as a capping agent are highly efficient and environmentally friendly, providing a new approach for the development of new pesticide delivery systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Downy mildew, a devastating disease of cucurbitaceous crops caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis. Although a variety of fungicides are used to control downy mildew, choosing an effective product can be challenging. Environmental stimulus-responsive pesticide delivery systems have great potential to improve the effectiveness of disease and pest control and reduce the impact on environmentally beneficial organisms. RESULTS In this work, a disulfide bond (SS)-modified and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS)-capped hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) pesticide delivery system was synthesized using a hard template method for the control of downy mildew in cucurbit crops. The synthesized nanoparticles were loaded with dimethomorph (DMM), denoted as DMM@HMS-SS-COS, and the developmental toxicity of these nanoparticles to zebrafish embryos were evaluated. The results showed that the prepared DMM@HMS-SS-COS exhibited excellent dual response properties to pH and glutathione (GSH), with an encapsulation rate of up to 24.36%. DMM@HMS-SS-COS has good ultraviolet (UV) radiation stability and adhesion properties. Compared with dimethomorph suspension concentrate (SC), DMM@HMS-SS-COS was more effective against downy mildew for up to 21 days. Toxicity tests showed that DMM@HMS-SS-COS significantly reduced the effect of DMM on the hatching rate and survival rate of zebrafish embryos. CONCLUSIONS This work not only demonstrates that DMM@HMS-SS-COS could be used as a nanodelivery system for intelligent control of downy mildew but also emphasizes the necessity of increasing the acute toxicity of nanoformulations to non-target organisms in environmental risk assessment. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this work, an enzyme-responsive nanovehicle for improving captan (CAP) contact fungicide bioactivity and translocation in plant tissues was synthesized (CAP-MSNs-β-glucan) by attaching β-glucan to the outer surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. CAP-MSNs-β-glucan properties were tested by FTIR, ζ-potential, DLS, XRD, TGA, FE-SEM, and HR-TEM. Cargo protection ability of CAP-MSNs-β-glucan from photolysis and hydrolysis was examined in comparison to CAP commercial formulation (CAP-CF). CAP-MSNs-β-glucan distribution in plant tissues, bioactivity against Fusarium graminearum, and biotoxicity toward zebrafish (Danio rerio) were tested and compared with that of CAP-CF. CAP-MSNs-β-glucan results showed good loading efficacy reaching 18.39% and enzymatic-release dependency up to 83.8% of the total cargo after 20 days of β-glucan unsealing. CAP-MSNs-β-glucan showed significant release protection under pH changes. MSNs-β-glucan showed excellent CAP protection from UV. CAP-MSNs-β-glucan showed better distribution in corn tissues and 1.28 more inhibiting potency to Fusarium graminearum than CAP-CF. CAP-MSNs-β-glucan showed 1.88 times lower toxicity than CAP-CF to zebrafish after 96 h of treatment. We recommend using such formulations to overcome shortcomings of contact fungicides and achieve better and sustainable farming.

Abstract
The inefficient delivery of agrichemicals in agrifood systems is among the leading cause of serious negative planetary and public health impacts. Such inefficiency is mainly attributed to the inability to deliver the agrichemicals at the right place (target), right time, and right dose. In this study, scalable, biodegradable, sustainable, biopolymer-based multistimuli responsive core-shell nanostructures were developed for smart agrichemical delivery. Three types of responsive core/shell nanostructures incorporated with model agrichemicals (i.e., CuSO4 and NPK fertilizer) were synthesized by coaxial electrospray, and the resulting nanostructures showed spherical morphology with an average diameter about 160 nm. Tunable agrichemical release kinetics were achieved by controlling the surface hydrophobicity of nanostructures. The pH and enzyme responsiveness was also demonstrated by the model analyte release kinetics (up to 7 days) in aqueous solution. Finally, the efficacy of the stimuli responsive nanostructures was evaluated in soil-based greenhouse studies using soybean and wheat in terms of photosynthesis efficacy and linear electron flow (LEF), two important metrics for seedling development and health. Findings confirmed plant specificity; for soybean, the nanostructures resulted in 34.3% higher value of relative chlorophyll content and 41.2% higher value of PS1 centers in photosystem I than the ionic control with equivalent agrichemical concentration. For wheat, the nanostructures resulted in 37.6% higher value of LEF than the ionic agrichemicals applied at 4 times higher concentration, indicating that the responsive core-shell nanostructure is an effective platform to achieve precision agrichemical delivery while minimizing inputs. Moreover, the Zn and Na content in the leaves of 4-week-old soybean seedlings were significantly increased with nanostructure amendment, indicating that the developed nanostructures can potentially be used to modulate the accumulation of other important micronutrients through a potential biofortification strategy.

pH and Redox Dual-Responsive Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle as Nanovehicle for Improving Fungicidal Efficiency. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15062207.

Abstract
Prochloraz (Pro) controlled-release nanoparticles (NPs) based on bimodal mesoporous silica (BMMs) with redox and pH dual responses were successfully prepared in this study. BMMs was modified by a silane coupling agent containing a disulfide bond, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was grafted on the surface of the NPs through host–guest interaction. Pro was encapsulated into the pores of nanoparticles by physical adsorption. NPs had a spherical structure, and their average diameter was 546.4 ± 3.0 nm as measured by dynamic light scattering. The loading rate of Pro was 28.3%, and it achieved excellent pH/redox dual-responsive release performance under acidic conditions. Foliage adhesion tests on tomato leaves showed that the NPs had good adhesion properties compared to the commercial formulation. Owing to the protection of the nanocarrier, NPs became more stable under ultraviolet light and high temperature, which improves the efficient utilization of Pro. Biological activity tests showed that the NPs exhibited effective antifungal activity, and the benign biosafety of the nanocarrier was also observed through toxicology tests on cell viability and the growth of Escherichiacoli (E. coli). This work provides a promising approach to improving the efficient utilization of pesticides and reducing environmental pollution.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to prepare sodium alginate (SA)/pectin (PE) hydrogel microspheres using the extrusion method to encapsulate Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Microscopic observation showed that the beads were spherical with a smooth and uniform surface. For microspheres with a diameter range of 140-156 μm, the encapsulation efficiency reached 85.67%. After simulating saliva, gastric juice, and intestinal juice, the activity of the microcapsules was estimated to be 5.78 × 104 log colony forming unit (CFU)/mL. These data show that the use of SA and PE encapsulated probiotics exhibit enhanced viability. In addition, double-layer beads containing probiotic microspheres and yogurt were prepared, and physical and chemical analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Texture and sensory property analysis revealed that the beads had good elasticity, chewiness, and high commercial value. Collectively, these findings indicate that SA and PE can be used for the encapsulation, protection, and gastrointestinal delivery of probiotics. Moreover, these microcapsules exhibit good stability in vitro and improve yogurt characteristics by increasing the survival rate of encapsulated probiotics, thus demonstrating their commercial application potential.

Abstract
AIM To prepare several novel microcapsules using chitosan (Cs) and Alginate (Alg) as coating materials, and nano-ZnO, nano-SiO2, nano-TiO2 as UV protective agents for improving UV resistance of Cry1Ac. METHODS Microcapsules were prepared by the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique and electrostatic adsorption. The morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the stability under UV radiation was studied by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and bioassay. RESULTS SEM showed that nano-ZnO and nano-TiO2 could be adsorbed on the negatively charged MC with the outermost layer being Alg, while nano-SiO2 could be adsorbed on the positively charged MC with Cs as the outermost layer. SDS-PAGE and bioassay showed that nano-ZnO and nano-SiO2 could provide effective UV protection after 8 h UV irradiation (p > 0.05), and nano-TiO2 could provide effective UV protection after 4 h UV irradiation (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The microcapsules loaded with nanoparticles provided excellent UV resistance for Cry1Ac.

Abstract
Striped rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) and pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Walker) are two important pests, causing substantial yield loss in rice production. Application of conventional synthetic pesticides, such as suspension concentrates and water-dispersible granules, is a primary method for control of the two pests. Due to the flow of water in rice field, spray drift, and soil adsorption, applied such pesticides are often out of the target, resulting in low control efficacy, potential contamination of soil or surface water, and also threat to human health. Thus, there is an urgent need for developing environmentally friendly and highly targeted pesticide formulations to meet the challenges. The present study synthesized chlorantraniliprole loaded chitosan-alginate floating hydrogel microspheres (CCAM) through physical embedding, ionic crosslinking, and incorporation of citronellol as an oil phase. The morphology, particle size, entrapment efficiency, loading capacity, in vitro slow-release kinetics, and floating ability of the CCAM were tested in laboratory conditions. The CCAM and two commercial formulations (suspended and granulated) of chlorantraniliprole were respectively evaluated in two rice fields located in two provinces of China. The CCAM was able to float on the surface of rice field, gather around rice stems, and slowly release chlorantraniliprole, which resulted in significantly higher concentrations of chlorantraniliprole in rice stems and leaves for a prolonged time than suspended and granulated controls. The application of CCAM provided an on-target control of both striped stem borer and pink stem borer. Furthermore, CCAM application had very low residue of chlorantraniliprole in soils. As far as is known, this is the first report of chlorantraniliprole loaded on chitosan-alginate floating hydrogel microspheres for rice stem borer control. Our results indicate that the synthesized CCAM could potentially be used as a controlled-release product for effective control of the two rice pests, while reducing the residual chlorantraniliprole in the soil and avoiding pesticide drift.

Abstract
Pollution related to pesticides has become a global problem due to their low utilization and non-targeting application, and nanotechnology has shown great potential in promoting sustainable agriculture. Nowadays, mesoporous silica-based nanomaterials have garnered immense attention for improving the efficacy and safety of pesticides due to their distinctive advantages of low toxicity, high thermal and chemical stability, and particularly size tunability and versatile functionality. Based on the introduction of the structure and synthesis of different types of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), the multiple roles of mesoporous silica in safe pesticide application using nanotechnology are discussed in this Review: (i) as nanocarrier for sustained/controlled delivery of pesticides, (ii) as adsorbent for enrichment or removal of pesticides in aqueous media, (iii) as support of catalysts for degradation of pesticide contaminants, and (iv) as support of sensors for detection of pesticides. Several scientific issues, strategies, and mechanisms regarding the application of MSNs in the pesticide field are presented, with their future directions discussed in terms of their environmental risk assessment, in-depth mechanism exploration, and cost-benefit consideration for their continuous development. This Review will provide critical information to related researchers and may open up their minds to develop new advances in pesticide application.

Abstract
In this study, a pesticide controlled release system with dual response characteristics of pH and enzyme triggering was developed. Indoxacarb (IDC) was loaded into hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) nanoparticles, carboxylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) acted as a capping molecule to couple with the amino-functionalized HMS, and their well-defined morphological structures were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the prepared IDC loaded HMS-CD had high loading efficiency (26.42%, w/w) and showed excellent dual response properties to pH and the α-amylase enzyme. IDC loaded HMS-CD nanoparticles showed better insecticidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda than applying the same dose of IDC emulsifiable concentrate, and the toxicity of IDC loaded HMS-CD to zebrafish was reduced by more than 5-fold, indicating that insecticide delivery systems based on β-CD-anchored HMS nanoparticles could potentially be applied for sustainable control of pests and reduce harm to non-target organisms and the environment.

Abstract
Tetramycin, a novel polyene agriculture antibiotic, has excellent antimicrobial activity against many plant pathogens. In this study, the antimicrobial activities of tetramycin and conventional antibiotics on eight common pathogens and their field control efficacies against four serious diseases in kiwifruit were investigated. The results show that 0.3% tetramycin aqueous solutions (AS) exhibited the superior antibacterial and antifungal activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, Pseudomonas fulva, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Botryosphaeriadothidea, Phomopsis sp., Alternaria tenuissima, Armillariella mellea and Phytophthora cactorum of kiwifruit pathogens with EC50 values of 1.21, 1.24, 0.72, 0.14, 0.09, 0.16, 0.06 and 0.17 mg kg−1, respectively. These EC50 values of tetramycin were much higher than those of conventional kasugamycin, zhongshengmycin or polyoxin. Meanwhile, 0.3% tetramycin AS possessed the good field control efficacies for canker, soft rot, blossom blight and brown spot disease of kiwifruit with 74.45, 83.55, 84.74 and 89.62%. Moreover, 0.3% tetramycin AS application notably increased fruit resistance substances contents, activated fruit superoxide dismutase and polyphenoloxidase activities, as well as remarkably enhanced fruit growth, improved fruit quality and storability. This study highlights that tetramycin can be used as a preferred alternative to conventional antibiotics in kiwifruit production.

Abstract
A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe pretreatment method using dispersive solid-phase extraction was developed to quantify kasugamycin in Chinese cabbage samples by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. A pretreatment method involving precolumn transformation was utilized to determine the residue of saisentong in Chinese cabbage through high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet detection. These methods were successfully applied through field trials to determine the contents of kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage. The dissipation of kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage followed first-order kinetics with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9066-0.9731 at the 95% confidence level. The half-lives of kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage were 1.8-2.0 and 2.2-3.8 days, respectively. Terminal residual levels of kasugamycin in Chinese cabbage were not detected 14 days after application. The dietary risk assessment of kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage showed that their risk quotients were 0.93 and 2.58%, respectively, in the preharvest interval (PHI) of 14 days. Kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage did not pose potential health hazards at PHI of 14 days. The maximum residue limits of kasugamycin and saisentong in Chinese cabbage were 0.02 and 0.36 mg/kg, respectively, and 14 days was the safe PHI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fungi have evolved for 1 billion years and due to their adaptability and resilience can be found in multiple habitats around the globe. Among numerous species of fungi, some are pathogenic, and humans have battled since the dawn of organized agriculture to reduce production losses. With the arrival of fungicides many gains have been made in this struggle. However, though fungicides have greatly contributed to substantial increase in agricultural productivity, their over usage has led to both health and environmental repercussions. They remain cornerstone of the agriculture industry, however, development of safer formulations to champion sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture is of great importance, especially in face of a growing global population, climate change and increasing fungal resistance to existing compounds. SCOPE AND APPROACH The aim of this review is to present the state of the art in fungicides formulations developed for agrochemistry, also describing recent improvements in their safety, with special focus on fungicides used most against the ten most important fungal pathogens. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The major focus in the field remains to be the improvement of the overall performance of the fungicide formulations. The research trends are also moving towards developing more eco-friendly formulations. However, there are still very few studies assessing nanoformulations toxicity and environmental impact. For example, there is still a limited body of research on the holistic assessment of nanoformulation shells' fate in soil and in the environment after release, as well as redistribution within plants after absorption, with no studies on human or environmental exposure.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to construct stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for improving pesticides targeting and preventing the pesticides premature release. In this work, a novel redox and α-amylase dual stimuli-responsive pesticide delivery system was established by bonding functionalized starch with biodegradable disulfide-bond-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles which loaded with avermectin (avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles). The results demonstrated that the loading capacity of avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles for avermectin was approximately 9.3 %. The starch attached covalently on the mesoporous silica nanoparticles could protect avermectin from photodegradation and prevent premature release of active ingredient. Meanwhile, the coated starch and disulfide-bridged structure of nanoparticles could be decomposed and consequently release of the avermectin on demand when nanoparticles were metabolized by glutathione and α-amylase in insects. The bioactivity survey confirmed that avermectin@MSNs-ss-starch nanoparticles had a longer duration in controlling Plutella xylostella larvae compared to avermectin emulsifiable concentrate. In consideration of the superior insecticidal activity and free of toxic organic solvent, this target-specific pesticide release system has promising potential in pest management.

Abstract
Grey mould is caused by the ascomycetes Botrytis cinerea in a range of crop hosts. As a biological control agent, the nucleoside antibiotic wuyiencin has been industrially produced and widely used as an effective fungicide. To elucidate the effects of wuyiencin on the transcriptional regulation in B. cinerea, we, for the first time, report a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of B. cinerea treated with wuyiencin. 2067 genes were differentially expressed, of them, 886 and 1181 genes were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Functional categorization indicated that transcript levels of genes involved in amino acid metabolism and those encoding putative secreted proteins were altered in response to wuyiencin treatment. Moreover, the expression of genes involved in protein synthesis and energy metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation) and of those encoding ATP-binding cassette transporters was markedly upregulated, whereas that of genes participating in DNA replication, cell cycle, and stress response was downregulated. Furthermore, wuyiencin resulted in mycelial malformation and negatively influenced cell growth rate and conidial yield in B. cinerea. Our results suggest that this nucleoside antibiotic regulates all aspects of cell growth and differentiation in B. cinerea. To summarize, some new candidate pathways and target genes that may related to the protective and antagonistic mechanisms in B. cinerea were identified underlying the action of biological control agents.

Abstract
Pesticides and fertilizers are widely used to enhance agriculture yields, although the fraction of the pesticides applied in the field that reaches the targets is less than 0.1%. Such indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides is disadvantageous due to the cost implications and increasing human health and environmental concerns. In recent years, the utilization of nanotechnology to create novel formulations has shown great potential for diminishing the indiscriminate use of pesticides and providing environmentally safer alternatives. Smart nano-based pesticides are designed to efficiently delivery sufficient amounts of active ingredients in response to biotic and/or abiotic stressors that act as triggers, employing targeted and controlled release mechanisms. This review discusses the current status of stimuli-responsive release systems with potential to be used in agriculture, highlighting the challenges and drawbacks that need to be overcome in order to accelerate the global commercialization of smart nanopesticides.

Abstract
Various pesticide nanocarriers have been developed. However, their pest-control applications remain limited in laboratories. Herein, we developed silica nanocapsules encapsulating fipronil (SNC) and their engineered form, poly(ethyleneimine)-coated SNC (SNC-PEI), based on recombinant catalytic modular protein D4S2 and used them against termite colonies Coptotermes lacteus in fields. To achieve this, an integrated biomolecular bioprocess was developed to produce D4S2 for manufacturing SNC containing fipronil with high encapsulation efficiency of approximately 97% at benign reaction conditions and at scales sufficient for the field applications. PEI coating was achieved via electrostatic interactions to yield SNC-PEI with a slower release of fipronil than SNC without coating. As a proof-of-concept, bait toxicants containing varied fipronil concentrations were formulated and exposed to nine termite mounds, aiming to prolong fipronil release hence allowing sufficient time for termites to relocate the baits into and distribute throughout the colony, and to eliminate that colony. Some baits were relocated into the mounds, but colonies were not eliminated due to several reasons. We caution others interested in producing bait toxicants to be aware of the multilevel resistance mechanisms of the Coptotermes spp. "superorganism".

Abstract
This article concisely reviews the most recent contributions to the development of sustainable bio-based polymers with antimicrobial properties. This is because some of the main problems that humanity faces, nowadays and in the future, are climate change and bacterial multi-resistance. Therefore, scientists are trying to provide solutions to these problems. In an attempt to organize these antimicrobial sustainable materials, we have classified them into the main families; i.e., polysaccharides, proteins/polypeptides, polyesters, and polyurethanes. The review then summarizes the most recent antimicrobial aspects of these sustainable materials with antimicrobial performance considering their main potential applications in the biomedical field and in the food industry. Furthermore, their use in other fields, such as water purification and coating technology, is also described. Finally, some concluding remarks will point out the promise of this theme.

Abstract
The incorporation of nanotechnology as a means for nanopesticides is in the early stage of development. The main idea behind this incorporation is to lower the indiscriminate use of conventional pesticides to be in line with safe environmental applications. Nanoencapsulated pesticides can provide controlled release kinetics, while efficiently enhancing permeability, stability, and solubility. Nanoencapsulation can enhance the pest-control efficiency over extended durations by preventing the premature degradation of active ingredients (AIs) under harsh environmental conditions. This review is thus organized to critically assess the significant role of nanotechnology for encapsulation of AIs for pesticides. The smart delivery of pesticides is essential to reduce the dosage of AIs with enhanced efficacy and to overcome pesticide loss (e.g., due to leaching and evaporation). The future trends of pesticide nanoformulations including nanomaterials as AIs and nanoemulsions of biopesticides are also explored. This review should thus offer a valuable guide for establishing regulatory frameworks related to field applications of these nano-based pesticides in the near future.
