Abstract
Weed management is an important aspect of crop production, as weeds cause significant losses in terms of yield and quality. Various approaches to weed management are commonly practiced by crop growers. Due to limitations in other control methods, farmers often choose herbicides as a cost-effective, rapid and highly efficient weed control strategy. Although herbicides are highly effective on most weeds, they are not a complete solution for weed management because of the genetic diversity and evolving flexibility of weed communities. The excessive and indiscriminate use of herbicides and their dominance in weed control have triggered the rapid generation of herbicide-resistant weed species. Moreover, environmental losses of active ingredients in the herbicides cause serious damage to the environment and pose a serious threat to living organisms. Scientific advances have enabled nanotechnology to emerge as an innovation with real potential in modern agriculture, adding a new dimension in the preparation of controlled release formulations (CRF) of herbicides. Here the required amount of active ingredients is released over longer periods of time to obtain the desired biological efficacy whilst reducing the harmful effects of these chemicals. Various organic and inorganic carrier materials have been utilised in CRF and researchers have a wide range of options for the synthesis of eco-friendly carrier materials, especially those with less or no toxicity to living organisms. This manuscript addresses the history, progress, and consequences of herbicide application, and discusses potential ways to reduce eco-toxicity due to herbicide application, along with directions for future research areas using the benefits of nanotechnology.

Eco-friendly bio-encapsulation from sodium alginate-trehalose-kaolin and its performance evaluation in improving plant growth under salt or/and drought conditions. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 225:123-134. [PMID: 36473533 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Plant growth-promoting bacterium plays a significant role in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, there are low survival and poor effect in field application, especially in unfavorable environments. Our previous study suggested that encapsulation of Bacillus pumilus G5 from polyvinyl alcohol‑sodium alginate could improve plant growth and soil fertility under drought and salt soil conditions. However, in the G5 microbeads, the polyvinyl alcohol could not be degraded after entering the soil, and the loss of viable bacteria was severe during the drying process. Achieving a more eco-friendly and efficient formulation based on biodegradable polymers can have significant effects on increasing the quantity and quality of agricultural products. Herein, G5 has immobilized in the composite wall of sodium alginate-trehalose-kaolin microbeads and then evaluated the performance, and applied on the Pharbitis nil under salt or/and drought stress by pot experiment. A 2 % sodium alginate, 1 % trehalose, and 1 % kaolin formulation for the coating films resulted in optimal G5 microbeads embedding efficiency, viable bacteria, degradation rate, and sustained release. Also, the G5 microbeads exhibited longer storage life than that of the G5 suspension. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the G5 microcapsules had a near-spherical structure with a particle size of around 1000 μm forming a continuous dense composite wall membrane with obvious protrusions and folds on the surface, which facilitated the release of the G5 strain. The interior of the G5 capsule was rough and suitable for bacterial attachment. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the G5 microcapsules are a simple physical mixture with no chemical reaction between the excipients, making the G5 microcapsules chemically stable. The inclusion of the G5 microcapsules considerably induced Pharbitis nil seedlings growth and biomass under drought and/or salt stress. In the rhizosphere soil of Pharbitis nil, the G5 microcapsules increased the total cultivable bacteria population, the activities of invertase, urease, phosphatase, and catalase, and the contents of available nitrogen and available phosphorus. We concluded that a suitable formulation by bio-encapsulation with eco-friendly excipients for alleviating drought and/or salt stress in plants will be advantageous in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
To daze conventional pesticide release limitations, nanotechnology-mediated pesticide delivery using natural polymers has been actively investigated. However, the lack of information on what are the beneficial/non-beneficial aspects of using hybrid- and organic-nanoparticles (NP) and among the polysaccharides which are better suited concerning pesticide loading efficiency (PLE wt%), entrapment efficiency, and sustained pesticide release (SPR %) has prompted us to investigate this study. In this report, we systematically investigated a series of polysaccharides such as starch (S), cellulose (C), aminocellulose (AC), and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) coated on magnetite NP (MNP, Fe3O4) and complete organic nanocarrier systems (starch and cellulose) that have no MNP part were compared for the PLE wt% and SPR % efficiencies for chlorpyrifos (ChP) insecticide. Overall, all nanocarriers (NCs) have shown good to excellent PLE wt% due to the smaller-sized NP obtained through optimal conditions. However, among the hybrid polysaccharides studied, starch MNP has shown a maximum PLE of 111 wt% in comparison with other polysaccharides (80-94 wt%) coated hybrid-NCs as well as with organic-NCs (81-87 wt%). The use of inorganic support does improve the PLE wt% markedly for starch but not for cellulose derivatives. Similarly, the SPR results of S-NP showed a remarkably better sustained release profile for ChP of 88% in 14 d. In contrast, other unfunctionalized and functionalized celluloses exhibited poor release profiles of 60%-20% for the same period. This study may help the researchers choose the right system for designing and achieving enhanced pesticide efficiency.

Abstract
Different technologies to prepare long term pesticide forms include polymer coating, preparing composites and encapsulating pesticides in nanoparticles. A simple and low-cost method was proposed to obtain slow-release formulations by co-extrusion of a pesticide with a biodegradable polymer at a temperature above the melting points of both components. A herbicide metribuzin and low-melting polyester poly-ε-caprolactone were chosen for this work. Formulations containing 10%, 20%, and 40% herbicide were prepared. During 7 days of their exposition in water, it was released from 81% to 96% of initially loaded metribuzin; the highest release was detected for 40%-loaded forms. Biodegradation of the constructs and pesticide release were further studied in the model soil. Degradation rates of the specimens increased with an increase in pesticide content, from 9% to 20% over 14 weeks for the 10%/20%-loaded and the 40%-loaded specimens, respectively. The release of metribuzin reached, respectively, 37-38% and 55%. The herbicide content in soil was lower due to its partial degradation in soil; it reached 23-25% and 33%, respectively, from initially loaded into the polymer matrix. Release kinetics of metribuzin in water as in soil best fitted the First-order model. The used approach is promising for obtaining long-term release formulations for soil applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to develop ecofriendly herbicide formulations. Its main aim was to develop and investigate slow-release formulations of herbicides (metribuzin, tribenuron-methyl, and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl) of different structure, solubility, and specificity, which were loaded into a degradable matrix of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P(3HB)) blended with available natural materials (peat, clay, and wood flour). RESULTS Differences in the structure and physicochemical properties of the formulations were studied depending on the type of the matrix. Herbicide release and accumulation in soil were associated with the solubility of the herbicide. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that no chemical bonds were formed between the components in the experimental formulations. Degradation of the formulations in agro-transformed soil in laboratory conditions was chiefly influenced by the shape of the specimens (granules or pellets) while the effect of the type of filler (peat, clay, or wood flour) was insignificant. The use of granules enabled more rapid accumulation of the herbicides in soil: their peak concentrations were reached after 3 weeks of incubation while the concentrations of the herbicides released from the pellets were the highest after 5-7 weeks. Loading of the herbicides into the polymer matrix composed of the slowly degraded P(3HB) and natural materials enabled both sustained function of the formulations in soil (lasting between 1.5 and ≥3 months) and stable activity of the otherwise rapidly inactivated herbicides such as tribenuron-methyl and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. CONCLUSION The experimental herbicide formulations enabled slow release of the active ingredients to soil. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
As the world is striving hard towards sustainable agricultural practices for a better tomorrow, one of the primary focuses is on effective pest management for enhanced crop productivity. Despite newer and potent chemicals as pesticides, there are still substantial crop losses, and if by any means this loss can be tackled; it will alleviate unwanted excessive use of chemical pesticides. Scientific surveys have already established that pesticides are not being utilized by the crops completely rather a significant amount remains unused due to various limiting factors such as leaching and bioconversion, etc., resulting in an adverse effect on human health and ecosystems. Concerted efforts from scientific diaspora toward newer and innovative strategies are already showing promise, and one such viable approach is controlled release systems (CRS) of pesticides. Moreover, to bring these smart formulations within the domain of current pesticide regulatory framework is still under debate. It is thus, paramount to discuss the pros and cons of this new technology vis-à-vis the conventional agrarian methods. This review deliberates on the developmental updates in this innovative field from the past decades and also appraises the challenges encumbered. Additionally, critical information and the foreseeable research gaps in this emerging area are highlighted.

Abstract
Using beeswax as wrapping matrix, two types of release-controlled TM (thiamethoxam)/BK(beeswax-kaolin) microcapsules were prepared by adsorbing TM on kaolin and then encapsulated with beeswax, or directly wrapping TM with beeswax. The structure and morphology of the TM/BK microcapsules were characterized. The effects of different preparation methods, the particle size, pH conditions and different additives on the release property of the TM/BK microcapsules were investigated in water and soil column to compare the advantages of the two approaches. Finally, the insecticidal effect of the TM/BK microcapsules against sugarcane borer and rice planthopper was tested. The results show that the TM/BK microcapsules have a better sustained-release in both water and soil, and the release rate is different under different pH conditions. In addition, the releasing time of the TM/BK microcapsules can be modified by different preparation methods and combination of different additives. In the field applications, the insecticidal activity of the TM/BK microcapsules was better than that of non-sustained control group. Especially in the rice field test, 45 days after the application, the control group lost the activity against rice planthopper because of drug loss, whereas the TM/BK microcapsule group still retained about 90% of the insecticidal activity. The results suggest that the microcapsules have better agricultural application for insect control.

Abstract
In this research, controlled release formulations (CRFs) of the herbicides chloridazon and metribuzin, identified as potential leachers, have been evaluated in soils with different texture. To prepare the CRFs, ethylcellulose (EC) and dibutylsebacate (DBS) have been used as coating agents in lignin-polyethylene glycol based formulations. Mobility experiments have been carried out in two light textured soils (sandy and sandy-loam). Breakthrough curves have shown that the use of CRFs reduces the presence of chloridazon and metribuzin in the leachate compared to technical and commercial products, being the lignin CRF coated with EC and DBS the most efficient to diminish the herbicide leaching. Mass balance study has shown a higher amount of chloridazon and metribuzin recovered in soils when these herbicides were tested as CRFs compared to technical and commercial products. The gradual release of herbicides from the CRFs resulting in a rather available levels of chloridazon and metribuzin in soil for a longer time. A good correlation between percentages of herbicide recovered in leachates and T50 values (time corresponding to 50% release of herbicide in water) was obtained, which allows to select the most appropriate CRF in each agro-environmental practice to reduce the potential pollution of groundwater by chloridazon and metribuzin.

Abstract
The present study reports the herbicidal activity of metribuzin and tribenuron-methyl embedded in the degradable matrix of natural poly-3-hydroxybutyrate [P(3HB)/MET and P(3HB)/TBM]. The developed formulations were constructed as films and microgranules, which were tested against the weeds such as white sweet clover Melilotus albus and lamb's quarters Chenopodium album in the presence of soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum, cv. Altaiskaya 70) as the subject crop for investigation. The activity was measured in laboratory scale experiments by determining the density and weight of the vegetative organs of weeds. The study was also aimed at testing the effect of the experimental formulation on the growth of wheat crop as dependent on the method of herbicide delivery. The experimental MET and TBM formulations showed pronounced herbicidal activity against the weed species used in the study. The effectiveness of the experimental formulations in inhibiting weed growth was comparable to and, sometimes, higher than that of the commercial formulations (positive control). The amount of the biomass of the wheat treated with the experimental herbicide formulations was significantly greater than that of the wheat treated with commercial formulations.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/metribuzin formulations: characterization, controlled release properties, herbicidal activity, and effect on soil microorganisms.

Abstract
Slow-release formulations of the herbicide metribuzin (MET) embedded in the polymer matrix of degradable poly-3-hydroxybutyrate [P(3HB)] in the form of microparticles, films, microgranules, and pellets were developed and tested. The kinetics of polymer degradation, MET release, and accumulation in soil were studied in laboratory soil microecosystems with higher plants. The study shows that MET release can be controlled by using different techniques of constructing formulations and by varying MET loading. MET accumulation in soil occurs gradually, as the polymer is degraded. The average P(3HB) degradation rates were determined by the geometry of the formulation, reaching 0.17, 0.12, 0.04, and 0.05 mg/day after 60 days for microparticles, films, microgranules, and pellets, respectively. The herbicidal activities of P(3HB)/MET formulations and commercial formulation Sencor Ultra were tested on the Agrostis stolonifera and Setaria macrocheata plants. The parameters used to evaluate the herbicidal activity were plant density and the weight of fresh green biomass measured at days 10, 20, and 30 after sowing. All P(3HB)/MET formulations had pronounced herbicidal activity, which varied depending on MET loading and the stage of the experiment. In the early phases of the experiment, the herbicidal effect of P(3HB)/MET formulations with the lowest MET loading (10 %) was comparable with that of the commercial formulation. The herbicidal effect of P(3HB)/MET formulations with higher MET loadings (25 and 50 %) at later stages of the experiment were stronger than the effect of Sencor Ultra.

Abstract
Experimental formulations of herbicide metribuzin embedded in matrices of degradable natural polymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) and its composites with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), and wood powder have been prepared in the form of pressed pellets containing 75% polymeric basis (pure P3HB or its composite with a second component at a ratio of 7:3) and 25% metribuzin. Incubation of formulations in soil laboratory systems led to the degradation of the matrix and herbicide release. The most active release of metribuzin (about 60% of the embedded herbicide over 35 days) was detected for the P3HB/PEG carrier compared to the P3HB, P3HB/wood, and P3HB/PCL forms (30-40%). Thus, the study shows that herbicide release can be controlled by the matrix formulation. Metribuzin formulations exerted a significant herbicidal effect on the plant Agrostis stolonifera, used as a weed plant model. Application of these long-term formulations will make it possible to reduce environmental release of chemicals, which will restrict the rate of their accumulation in trophic chains of ecosystems and abate their adverse effects on the biosphere.

Abstract
Polymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] has been used as a matrix in slow-release formulations of the herbicide metribuzin (MET). Physical P(3HB)/MET mixtures in the form of solutions, powders, and emulsions were used to construct different metribuzin formulations (films, granules, pellets, and microparticles). SEM, X-Ray, and DSC proved the stability of these formulations incubated in sterile water in vitro for long periods of time (up to 49 days). Metribuzin release from the polymer matrix has been also studied. By varying the shape of formulations (microparticles, granules, films, and pellets), we were able to control the release time of metribuzin, increasing or decreasing it.

Abstract
A series of bentonite polymer-composites (BPCs) loaded with metribuzin were studied for their controlled release in aqueous medium. The release of active ingredient from BPCs was significantly lower as compared to commercial metribuzin formulation. The results revealed that the cumulative metribuzin release was highest (81%) from the BPCs containing 8% clay (commercial bentonite) and 2% metribuzin which correspond to the lowest (14 days) half-life values i.e., time required for 50% release of active ingredient (t1/2). The metribuzin release from the BPCs decreased with increased concentration of clays in polymer matrix and the release was further decreased with BPCs prepared with pure nano-bentonite. BPCs containing 12% clay and 2% metribuzin showed maximum t1/2 values i.e., 25 and 51 days for commercial bentonite and pure nano-bentonite as clay sources, respectively. The differential behaviour in the metribuzin release rates from BPCs was ascribed due to variations in crosslinking of metribuzin in the composites. As metribuzin release was found to be slower in BPCs compared to commercial formulation, it could be used for control of weeds tailored to different crops.
