  Revolutionizing Agriculture with Nanotechnology: Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability in Crop Protection and Pest Management

  By Luciana R. de S. Floresta, Emilly Valentim de Souza, Philipe Lima de Amorim, Roseane C. P. Trindade, Anielle Christine A. Silva

  Abstract: This brief review highlights the potential of nanotechnology in addressing critical challenges in modern agriculture driven by population growth, climate change, and the intensification of farming practices. The extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has increased productivity and caused environmental issues, such as soil salinization, eutrophication, and health risks due to chemical residues in food. Nanomaterials have emerged as promising solutions, offering benefits like enhanced specificity in agrochemical delivery …

  Nanomaterials via Green Synthesis: Insights into Biocompatibility and Biotechnological Applications

  By Luciana R. de S. Floresta, Adriana S. Silva, Jerusa M. de Oliveira, Dhandara E. de L. Sampaio, Auana R. da S. Andrade, Emilly Valentim de Souza, Thiago G. Lima, João Pedro L. F. de Almeida, Lucas Anhezini, Anielle Christine A. Silva

  Abstract: This review critically examines recent advances in the green synthesis of nanomaterials (NMs) and their diverse biological applications, with a focus on antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. The reviewed studies evaluated key characteristics of green-synthesized NMs, including their size, shape, and concentrations, as assessed in both in vitro and in vivo biological models. Compared to traditional chemical methods, green synthesis demonstrated superior efficacy, enhanced biocompatibility, and reduced toxicity. For …
