The present proposal aims to acquire a chromatography platform composed of LC and GC coupled to an MS/MS detector aiming to study nanotechnology, environment, agriculture, and health. Such a platform will enable advances in the scientific and technological scenario within the state of São Paulo as it will allow researchers from Universities, Research Institutes and Companies access to ana…
This research project focuses on improving the availability of phosphorus in the soil, a vital nutrient for plant growth. The lack of phosphorus in soils with frequent rainfall represents a challenge for agriculture. To resolve this issue, the research proposes the development of a nanostructured material from renewable sources, using nanolignin derived from Kraft lignin through fractiona…
The unprecedented loss of biodiversity and the imminent threats of climate and environmental changes are among the most important challenges faced by humanity. Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, mainly in response to urban and agriculture expansion over natural areas. In addition, climate change is projected to commit over one-third of the Earth's animal and plant species to ext…
Nanoparticle technology has demonstrated significant potential in advancing sustainable agriculture by improving the efficiency of active ingredient (a.i.) delivery while reducing required dosages and overcoming plant barriers. Among innovative pest control methods, RNA interference (RNAi) has gained attention due to its gene silencing mechanism, which employs small interfering RNAs (siRN…
Nano-based products could help in developing efficient products that would save resources and decrease environmental contamination for crop protection. A part of this technology relies on organic, carbon-based materials. To date, detecting these carbon materials and tracking for their transformation in a plant-soil system is still a challenge. This proposal aims at building an internation…
The development of nanomaterials (inorganic/organic) that are able to interact with plants is an important issue to be investigated. Therefore, a core-shell design with inorganic nanoparticle cores coated with organic (in special polymeric and lipid) shells is interesting due the possibilities to detect the inorganic nanoparticles into the plants. In this context, this proposal aims to st…

The study aims to conduct a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of implementing nanotechnology-based interventions in agriculture. It highlights the potential benefits of integrating nanotechnology in agricultural practices while addressing environmental impact, health risks, regulatory challenges, and ethical considerations. The analysis will consider economic, environmental, and social …
The use of organic nanocarriers has proven to be a active ingredients, making it possible to obtain safer and more efficient synthetic herbicides. are still necessary to enable a more sustainable and effective system. Molecules of natural origin,with herbicidal effect, such as pelargonic acid (PA), has gained prominence in research related toweed management (PD), but they are little stud…

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a staple crop and ranks sixth in global production. However, biotic factors significantly impact its cultivation, notably the potato virus Y (PVY), which causes substantial economic losses in solanaceous crops. PVY management remains challenging due to limited and expensive control measures. RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural gene regulatory mechanism pr…
Nanoherbicides outperform conventional formulations due to enhanced absorption and delivery mechanisms; however, the processes governing nanoparticle-mediated herbicide transport remain unclear, mainly for polymer nanoparticles. Pelargonic acid (PA), a bioherbicide with low solubility and limited systemic transport, faces challenges in achieving effective weed control. Developing advanced…
The increase in cases of arboviruses, such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika, which have the Aedes aegypti mosquito as the main vector, infect thousands of people annually, causing sequelae and potentially leading to death. Among the alternatives for vector control is the class of larvicides, but the excessive and indiscriminate use of synthetic products has generated resistan…
