The need for sustainable agriculture that does not harm the environment is among the challenges of full sustainable development (SDG-(2)) through adopting the 2030 agenda. Also, at COP28 (28th United Nations Climate Conference), guidelines were discussed about agriculture, where the need for "implementing integrated and multisectoral solutions, such as land use management, sustainable agr…
How to sustainably feed 10 billion people by 2050? Agriculture relies on agrochemicals to control pests and increase yields. Brazil ranks 44th and France 48th on pesticides (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization). Fertilizers pollute rivers, groundwater, promote eutrophication and air pollution. Pesticides cause 355,000 deaths yearly by overexposure/misuse and affect non-target…
Micro and nanotechnology applied to agricultural area is already a reality, studies show that this can aid in both fertilization and containment of agricultural pests, which can result in better crop performance. However, there is still a consensus that there is a need for further studies to ensure its effectiveness and safety. Among the innumerable possibilities of using nanomaterials, t…
Nanotechnology applied to the agricultural area is a reality, studies show that this technology can aid in fertilization and agricultural pests containment resulting in better crop performance. However, there is still a consensus that there is a need for further studies to ensure its effectiveness and safety. Among the possibilities existing the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles e…
Due to high investment on developing and producing commercial goods using nanotechnology, it has become almost inevitable the contact of these materials with the human beings and the environment. The interaction with ecosystems and organisms is likely to occur because the commercial goods release this material to the environment, such as, the use of silver nanoparticles in the textil indu…

In recent years, the so-called "hard ticks" have brought a major economic threat to global livestock farming, affecting productivity, health and well-being. Technologies that aim to alleviate the problems reported in recent years are fundamental, including the use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPFs), which are currently one of the promising alternatives for this problem, which, together with…

Nanotechnology has gained prominence in agriculture due to different application possibilities, such as pest control and fertilization. There are different forms of nanomaterials, with biogenic metallic nanoparticles, which use organisms and metabolites for their synthesis; in this way, it is possible to have synergy between the metabolites and the metal, in addition to presenting versati…

In the last year (2020) the world has turned its attention to the new SARS-CoV2 virus, since the pandemic has brought to light Public Health problems that had already been raised over the past few years. Likewise, the frequent concern with bacterial resistance has been reported by many professionals who encounter patients with infections refractory to conventional pharmacological treatmen…
The combat to mosquito vectors of diseases is an area of interest, especially after outbreaks of Dengue and Zika occurred in recent years. One of the forms of combat is the use of repellents that push away the vectors. Different chemical agents are used for this purpose, but there are reports of toxicity of these compounds. Because this, new alternatives for the use of botanical agents wi…
The production of nanomaterials applied to the agricultural area is a reality, this brings possibilities of application of the new technology as a promise for the solution of problems and consequent better crop yields. The use of metal nanoparticles for the control of pathogens is recent and one of the problems raised would be in regard to their toxicity both for the environment and for o…

Soil microbiota is crucial in nutrient cycling, fertility, and carbon sequestration. It can stimulate plant growth through direct mechanisms, such as plant hormone production, and indirect mechanisms, such as pathogen inhibition. However, managing these microorganisms faces challenges, such as instability in application conditions. Nanotechnology can be a tool to help address these proble…
