Arsenic (As) contamination of aquatic and soil environments is a global concern, highlighting the importance of As removal via high-efficiency and low-cost removal technologies. In the present study, novel trimetallic biochar was developed through pyrolyzing corn straw impregnated with inexpensive metal Fe/Al/Zn (hydr)oxides. The results of SEM, FTIR, and XRD verified the formation of metal oxyhydroxides on the surface of the modified biochars, and the modification increased the specific surface area (SSA), total pore volume (TPV), and surface charge of the Fe/Al/Zn (hydr)oxides modified biochar (FAZ-CB). Compared with the original biochar, higher sorption rates and capacities was observed for the FAZ-CB. The maximum As (V) adsorption capacities of FAZ-CB reached 82.9 mg g −1 . A pot experiment showed that application of FAZ-CB decreased bioavailable As fractions in the red soil significantly reduced the uptake of As by arugula in edible part and root (42.6 and 56.8%, respectively). The present study demonstrated the superiority of FAZ-CB in the As(V) immobilization in red soil, suggesting that it is a promising candidate for practical application for As immobilization. Therefore, FAZ-CB can be used as a promising functionalized biochar to remediate As contaminated red soil.

Recycling nutrients is essential for closing nutrient loops within a circular economy. Using locally available resources such as human excreta to produce bio-based recycling fertilizers can substitute mineral fertilizers and thereby promote environmentally friendly food production. To better understand the fertilizer potential and nitrogen value of human excreta, three novel and safe recycling products were evaluated in a field experiment. Two nitrified urine fertilizers (NUFs) and one fecal compost were applied alone or in combination, and compared against the commercial organic fertilizer vinasse. In addition, the uptake of pharmaceuticals was assessed for treatments with compost application. White cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba) was cultivated in plots in three different soil types (sand, loam or silt) treated with the fertilizers according to plant needs and mineral soil nitrogen content. The two NUFs resulted in marketable yields similar to those of vinasse in all soil types. Combining fecal compost with a NUF led to increased marketable yield compared to compost alone. The highest yield was recorded from the sandy soil, where vinasse and NUF treatments led to comparable yields, as expected in organic productions systems (up to 72 t ha−1). The cabbage yield and total aboveground fresh biomass followed the following trend in all soils: NUFs ∼ vinasse ≥ compost + NUF ≥ compost. Nitrogen uptake in the cabbage heads and total biomass was significantly higher in sand (69.5–144 kg ha−1) than loam (71.4–95.8 kg ha−1). All compost treatments alleviated the effect of soil type and resulted in comparable nitrogen uptake and yield in all soil types. Plant uptake of pharmaceuticals (Carbamazepin) was higher in sand than in loam, and concentration in the edible part was lower than in the outer leaves. In conclusion, NUF alone appears to be a promising successful fertilizer substitute in horticultural food production. The combined application of NUF and compost led to slightly lower crop yields, but may increase soil carbon content in the long term, promoting climate-friendly food production.

Nano-enabled foliar-application could be an ideal strategy for advancing agricultural productivity. However, it remains largely unknown whether they inhibit or promote the uptake of pollutants. Here, we systematically examined how foliar applying SiO 2 nanoparticles (nSiO 2 ) and ZnO nanoparticles (nZnO) (20 nm, 100 mg·L −1 ), influence polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) uptake in 4-week-old amaranth ( Amaranthus tricolor L.). Results showed that foliar application of nSiO 2 or nZnO enhanced amaranth biomass by 20.2–26.4% but decreased PAHs bioaccumulation in leaves by 20.4–54.9% after 7-d incubation. Changes regarding amino acid-related pathways (alanine/aspartate/glutamate metabolism and arginine biosynthesis) and energy maintenance pathways (TCA cycle) were observed in amaranth leaves after foliar application of nSiO 2 and nZnO. Specific PLS-DA analyses with total PAHs uptake as the biological endpoint showed that the contents of PAHs positively correlated with valine ( R 2 = 0.799) and tyrosine ( R 2 = 0.789), but negatively correlated with D-tagatose ( R 2 = 0.805) and L-gulonolactone ( R 2 = 0.877), indicating greater oxidant stress under higher PAHs level. We propose that mechanisms of declined uptake of PAHs involve the biomass-dependent dilute effect and activation of biological response against PAHs accumulation. These findings provide a prospective vision on how nano-enabled foliar-application alleviates PAH-enriched environmental burden while producing higher-yield agricultural products, especially for low toxic and biocompatible nSiO 2 .

Chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad has been used for the control of diamondback moth in kale around the world with a suspension concentrate formulation being prepared for marketing in China. In order to evaluate pesticide residues in kale and intake risks for different populations, a modified QuEChERS procedure of detecting chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were simultaneously established using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The average recoveries of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were in the range of 83–98%, with the precision of intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 15) ranging from 1.7 to 6.7% and from 2.1 to 4.7%, respectively. The limits of quantification were all 0.01 mg kg−1 in kale. Supervised filed trials were conducted in 12 regions of China, and results showed that residues of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad in kale were 0.01 to 0.17 and 0.01 to 0.11 mg kg−1, respectively, within the recommended pre-harvest interval (10 days). Based on these data, dietary risk assessments were performed. The long-term intake risk quotient (RQc) values for chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad were 0.33% and 28.09% respectively, while the short-term risk quotient (RQa) values of the more toxic tolfenpyrad were 21% (children, 1–6 years old) and 52% (the general population, >1 years old) respectively, which were all lower than 100%, highlighting the higher chronic risk for children compared with that of the general population. However, the less than 100% value revealed that not only the long-term but also short-term risks were acceptable when consuming kale under Good Agricultural Practice conditions. The paper will be helpful in rational use of chlorantraniliprole and tolfenpyrad on kale.

BACKGROUND The emergence and increasing intensification of insect pest resistance greatly shortens the service life of commercial insecticides. Hence, the continuous development of novel insecticides is extremely necessary. Discovering new insecticide molecules based on natural products with insecticidal activity has been a popular technique and has made outstanding contributions in this field. RESULTS A series of betulin-cinnamic acid-related hybrid compounds was prepared by molecular hybridization through the bridge of acyloxy groups and their chemical structures were unambiguously confirmed. Against A. pisum , compounds 2e , 3a-3e , 3g , 3i , 3j , and 3m showed complete antifeedant activity at 2 mg/mL; compound 5b exhibited 2.7 times the aphicidal activity of the precursor betulin. Against P. xylostella , compound 2l displayed 3.9 times the insecticidal activity of betulin. Meanwhile, some interesting structure–activity relationships were obtained. Furthermore, compound 2l could destroy the ultrastructure of midgut cells and significantly inhibit the activity of α-amylase in P. xylostella larvae. Molecular docking indicated that the lupane skeleton and p -nitrocinnamoyloxy groups played a key role in the binding of compound 2l to α-amylase. CONCLUSION Compounds 5b and 2l could be further optimized structurally as the secondary lead compounds for the discovery of novel insecticide molecules. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

BACKGROUND The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella , has developed resistance to almost all insecticides used for its control. The ‘push–pull’ method has been shown as an effective control strategy to address this resistance challenge of P. xylostella . The key focus of the strategy is the identification of attractive or repellent volatile components. The aim of this study was to identify attractive volatile compounds released from host plants. Identified compounds were applied in the biological control of this pest. RESULTS Nine active compounds released into the headspace of seven cruciferous plant species were identified using gas chromatography–electroantennographic detection and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Electroantennographic detection-active compounds included five green leaf volatiles (hexanal, trans -2-hexen-1-ol, cis -3-hexen-1-ol, cis -3-hexenyl acetate, and 1-penten-3-ol), three isothiocyanates (isopropyl isothiocyanate, allyl isothiocyanate, and butyl isothiocyanate), and nonanal. Except for nonanal, all the identified green leaf volatiles and isothiocyanates elicited strong electrophysiological and behavioral responses in P. xylostella . The strongest attractive compounds, trans -2-hexen-1-ol and isopropyl isothiocyanate, were further evaluated in oviposition and field-trapping assays. Results showed that they both lured female moths to lay eggs, and were highly attractive to P. xylostella adults in field, especially when used in combination with yellow and green sticky boards. However, a blend of the two compounds showed no synergistic effect, but rather an antagonistic effect. CONCLUSIONS Green leaf volatiles and isothiocyanates were identified as key olfactory cues for host selection of P. xylostella . Trans -2- hexen-1-ol and isopropyl isothiocyanate were identified as candidate attractive compounds to serve in a ‘push–pull’ strategy for P. xylostella control. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

We aimed to prepare a new pH-sensing film based on the immobilization of purple cabbage anthocyanins (PCA) into Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) reinforced by cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). FT-IR, XRD and TGA were used to assess the intermolecular interactions and thermo-stability of films. The addition of CNC and PCA resulted in an enhancement in UV–vis barrier, mechanical properties and moisture resistance. Inclusion of PCA imparted intelligent properties to the films. PCA-loaded films displayed strong visually detectable colorimetric responses to pH (2−13) and volatile ammonia. When applied to monitor shrimp freshness at 4 °C, PVA/CNC films containing 0.6 % PCA exhibited conspicuous color fluctuations from purple to gray blue upon deterioration. As a result, PVA/CNC-PCA colorimetric films were considered as intelligent packaging labels with significant mechanical, water vapor barrier properties and pH-sensing qualities for visual quality evaluation of fresh seafood products.

Polyphenols bound to insoluble fibre may scavenge reactive carbonyl species by surface chemical reactions. In the present study, this hypothesis was tested by investigating the ability of bound-polyphenol rich insoluble dietary fibre (BP-IDF) isolated from blackberry pomace, red cabbage, and wheat bran in scavenging carbonyl compounds. Three BP-IDF showed high scavenging efficacy for glyoxal, methylglyoxal, acrolein and malondialdehyde. Upon in vitro digestion, trapping capacity was retained by the insoluble fraction suggesting that carbonyl trapping activity and physiological relevance needs to be extended to undigestible materials. The removal of bound polyphenols from the polysaccharide backbones through alkaline and acidic treatment reduced by up to 90% of trapping capacity of BP-IDF. Moreover, methylglyoxal-polyphenol adducts were detected bound to blackberry pomace BP-IDF after hydrolysis. These findings demonstrated that polyphenols bound to IDF scavenged reactive carbonyl species and highlighted the physiological relevance of BP-IDF in limiting carbonyl stress along all the gastrointestinal tract.

Two consecutive experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with red cabbage extract (RCE) rich in anthocyanins on the nitrogen (N) metabolism in beef bulls and the nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from the soil applied with the urine of beef bulls. In Experiment 1, 8 Simmental beef bulls (body weight 387.9 ± 40.7 kg) were used as experimental animals . Two levels of RCE, i.e. 0 and 114 g dry matter per day, were supplemented to a basal ration as experimental treatments. The animals and the treatments were allocated in a 2 × 2 crossover design. In Experiment 2, the static incubation technique was used to determine the N 2 O-N emissions from the soil applied with the urine samples collected from Experiment 1. The results of Experiment 1 indicated that RCE supplementation did not affect the N excretion, N retention, and N retention rate in beef bulls ( P > 0.10). However, RCE supplementation increased the ratio of hippuric acid-N/urinary N ( P < 0.05) and tended to increase the ratio of creatinine-N/urinary N ( P = 0.081) without changing the excretion of other urinary nitrogenous components ( P > 0.10). Plasma metabolome analysis indicated that RCE supplementation upregulated 12 metabolites while downregulated 18 metabolites ( P < 0.05). The results of Experiment 2 indicated that RCE supplementation reduced the estimated urine N 2 O-N emissions by 33.1% through decreasing the ratio of N 2 O-N/urine-N ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, RCE supplementation did not affect the N retention and N excretion of beef bulls, whereas it attenuated the urine N 2 O-N emissions of beef bulls through increasing urinary hippuric acid excretions.

Foliar-application of nano-particles enhanced the foliar nutrient status and crop growth and yield. It is hypothesized that being second messenger molecule, supplementation of Ca 2+ via calcium nanoparticles (Ca-NPs) can trigger various signaling pathways of physiological processes which can lead to alleviate the adverse effects of drought stress on the growth of canola ( Brassica napus L.). Nano-enabled foliar-application could be an ideal strategy for advancing agricultural productivity. The present study explored the role of calcium nanoparticles ( Ca-NPs ) in alleviating drought stress in hydroponic Brassica napus ( B. napus ) plants. The foliar applied Ca-NPs were spherically shaped with an average size of 86 nm. Foliar application of 100 mg L -1 Ca-NPs enhanced biomass of canola plants and considered as optimal dose. Ca-NPs at 100 mg L −1 has a greater favorable impact on mesophyll ultrastructure, PSI and PSII efficacy, gas exchange parameters, chlorophyll content, and mineral absorption. The Ca-NPs treatment increased NPQ and Y(NPQ) under drought condition, indicating a higher PSII protective response to stressed conditions with better heat dissipation as a photoprotective component of NPQ. Ca-NPs application also reduced oxidative stress damage as measured by a reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in terms of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde (H 2 O 2 and MDA). Furthermore, Ca-NPs induced drought tolerance response corresponded to an increased in key antioxidative defense enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT, APX), as well as non-enzymatic components (protease, lipoxygenase, proline, total soluble protein contents, endogenous hormonal biosynthesis), and secondary metabolite expression in B. napus plants. Taken together, the results of this study offer new insights into the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which B. napus responds to Ca-NPs exposure.

Wastewater irrigation may introduce antibiotic residues in the soil-plant systems. This study aimed to investigate the uptake of tetracyclines by spinach and collard greens and assess associated ecological and human health risks. Synthetic wastewater spiked with 1 ppm and 10 ppm of oxytetracycline , doxycycline, and tetracycline was used to grow vegetables in a greenhouse pot experiment. The uptake and accumulation of the tetracyclines were low and residual concentrations in the soil were negligible. All the tetracyclines were detected at concentrations ranging from 1.68 to 51.41 μg/g (spinach) and 1.94–30.95 μg/g (collard greens). The accumulation rate was in a dose-response scenario with a bioconcentration factor of 6.34 mL/kg (spinach) and 2.64 mL/kg (collard greens). Oxytetracycline had the highest accumulation in leaves, followed by doxycycline and tetracycline, and the residual concentrations followed the same order. The highest residual concentration was in soils receiving 10 ppm oxytetracycline. Residual concentrations in the soil were lower than accumulated levels and exerted negligible ecological risks. Tetracyclines accumulation in spinach significantly differed between the vegetables demonstrating a subspecies difference in uptake and accumulation. Ecological risk quotient (RQ) and human health risk quotient (HQ) were below thresholds that would exert toxicity and resistance selection impacts. Although RQs and HQs are low (<0.1), this study shows that the vegetables accumulate tetracyclines from irrigation water, posing plausible human health risks to allergic individuals. Similarly, the ecological risks cannot be ignored because the synergistic and antagonistic effects of sublethal concentrations can perturb ecosystem processes.

The increasing demand for high quality fertilizer, which is being driven by human nutrition demand and agricultural soil protection, necessitates sustainable alternatives to be used as vegetable production. Thus, utilizing biochar (BC), bacterial fertilizer and their combination with organic fertilizer (OF) could be a sustainable approach. In our research work, OF, BC, liquid bacterial fertilizer (LB), and solid bacterial fertilizer (SB) were used to investigate different fertilizer combinations. Greenhouse field experiment was conducted to compare different fertilizer application and their effects on cabbage biomass, cabbage characteristics and soil physical and chemical properties. The results showed that combined application OF, BC, and LB promoted cabbage growth and resulted in the highest yield of 16.6 kg/m 2 . The vitamin C content was highest at 48.4 mg/kg with the combined application OF, BC, and SB treatment. The combined application OF, BC, and SB achieved the best overall comprehensive evaluation for cabbage biomass weight, vitamin C content, and total sugar content. The combined application OF and a bacterial fertilizer improved soil properties, while the addition of BC reduced the soil nutrient content. Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) analysis showed that volatile organic compounds from cabbages were mainly esters, alcohols, acids, acetates, aldehydes, and ketones. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of different fertilizer applications and their effects on cabbage quality and rhizosphere soil.
